Q #1
:

Cognizant Quants Question

A jar contains 5 white, 8 red, 2 blue and 3 black balls. Find the probability that a ball drawn at random is red or blue.
+

Total number of balls in the bag = 5 + 8 + 2 + 3 = 18

Number of red or blue balls in the bag = 8 + 2 = 10

Probability = 1018 = 59


Q #2
:

Cognizant Quants Question

Convert 4.3333…….. into p/q form
+

Let x = 4.333…… (1)

Multiply both sides by 10

10x = 43.333…… (2)

Subtract (1) from (2)

9x = 39

x = 399


Q #3
:

Cognizant Quants Question

A vendor purchases binder clips at 12 for Rs. 60. How many clips should he sell for Rs. 60 to earn a profit of 20%?
+

Cost of 12 clips = Rs. 60

Profit = 20%

Selling Price of clips = CP x 120100 = 60 x 120100 = Rs. 72

Selling Price of 12 clips = Rs. 72

Rs. 72 is the selling price of 12 clips.

Rs. 60 will be the selling price of 1272 x 60 = 10 clips


Q #4
:

Cognizant Quants Question

The largest number that always divides the difference of a three – digit number and the number formed by reversing its digits is:
+

Let the digits at hundreds, tens and unit place be x, y and z respectively.

The number will be 100x+10y+z

On reversing the positions, number will be 100z+10y+x

On subtracting, we get ((100x+10y+z) – (100z+10y+x)) = 99x-99z = 99(x-z)

The largest number dividing the difference is 99.


Q #5
