   A.) 65/81
   B.) 1/9
   C.) 16/81
   D.) 8/9

Answer: Option 'A'

The probability of at least one blue ball = 1 - (probability of no blue ball)
= 1 - (2/3) × (2/3) × (2/3) × (2/3)
= 1 - (16/81)
= 65/81

The probability of at least one red ball = 1 - (probability of no red ball)
= 1 - (1/2) × (1/2) × (1/2) × (1/2)
= 1 - (1/16)
= 15/16

  • Directions (Q.3-4): Cities M and N are 600 km apart. Bus A starts from city M towards N at 9 am and bus B starts from city N towards M at the same time. Bus A travels the first 1/3rd of the distance at a speed of 40 kmph, the second 1/3rd at 60 kmph and the third 1/3rd at 50 km/hr. Bus B travels the first 1/3rd of the total distance at a speed of 60 kmph, the second 1/3 rd at 40 kmph and the third 1/3rd at 50 km/hr.

5.

When and where will the two buses cross each other?

   A.) 6 hrs, 320 kms from N
   B.) 5 hrs  20 minutes, 240 kms from N
   C.) 6 hrs 20 minutes, 280 kms from M
   D.) 4 hrs, 240 kms from M

Answer: Option 'C'

Bus A travels first 1/3 rd of the distance in 200/40 = 5 hrs
Bus B travels first 1/3 rd of the distance in = 200/60 = 10/3 hrs 
in 5 - 10/3 = 5/3 hrs Bus B travels another 5/3 × 40 = 200/3 kms 
Now, the distance between Buses A and B reduces 600 - (200 + 800/1) = 400/3 kms 
This is covered by both in (400/1)/(60+40) = 1(1/3) hr 
Hence, they will cross each other after = 5 + 1(1/3) = 6 hrs 20 minutes 
And the point of crossing is 200 + 80 = 280 kms from city M
