question: What is the probability of rolling a nine with two, fair, six-sided dice?
Options:
(A) 1/6
(B) 1/9
(C) 2/13
(D) 1/12
(E) 5/36
answer: Stream of consciousness: There are 4 ways to roll a nine: 3 and 6, 6 and 3, 4 and 5, 5 and 4 with two six-sided dice. There are 6 times 6 = 36 ways to roll two dice. The probability of rolling a 9 is thus 4/36 = 1/9. The answer is (B).


q: Find the least number must be subtracted from 531742 so that remaining no.is divisible by 3?
Options:
(A) 4
(B) 5
(C) 1
(D) 2
(E) 3
a: Stream of consciousness: On dividing 531742 by 3 we get the remainder 1, so 1 should be subtracted The answer is (C).


question: If P(A) = 2/15, P(B) = 7/15, and P(A âˆª B) = 16/15 Find P(A|B)
Options:
(A) 1/2
(B) 16/7
(C) 3/2
(D) 4/5
(E) 4/7
answer: Stream of consciousness: P(A|B) = P(A âˆª B)/P(B)
P(A|B) = (16/15)/(7/15) = 16/7. The answer is (B).


q: The Average of six numbers is 8. The average of the first two is 11 and the average of the last three is 4. What is the middle number?
Options:
(A) A) 15
(B) B) 8
(C) C) 6
(D) D) 14
(E) E) 9
a: Stream of consciousness: The total of six numbers = 6X8 = 48
The total of first 2 and last 3 numbers is = 2 X 11+3 X 4 = 34
So, the middle number is (48 - 34 ) = 14 The answer is (D).


question: A can do a piece of work in 9 days. When he had worked for 2 days B joins him. If the complete work was finished in 8 days. In how many days B alone can finish the work?
Options:
(A) 18
(B) 77
(C) 66
(D) 54
(E) 12
answer: Stream of consciousness: 8/9 + 6/x = 1
X = 54 days The answer is (D).


question: A train is running at a speed of 40 km/hr and it crosses a post in 18 seconds. What is the length of the train?
Options:
(A) 190 metres
(B) 160 metres
(C) 180 metres
(D) 120 metres
(E) 200 metres
answer:

Show your work and conclude with the exact phrasing "Therefore, the final answer is [answer]." where [answer] is just the final number or expression that solves the problem.

Stream of consciousness: Speed of the train, v = 40 km/hr = 40000/3600 m/s = 400/36 m/s
Time taken to cross, t = 18 s
Distance Covered, d = vt = (400/36)× 18 = 200 m
Distance covered is equal to the length of the train = 200 m The answer is (E).
