the average of 10 numbers is 40.2 . later it is found that two numbers have been wrongly copied . the first is 16 greater than the actual number and the second number added is 13 instead of 31 . find the correct average .
"sum of 10 numbers = 402 corrected sum of 10 numbers = 402 – 13 + 31 – 16 = 404 hence , new average = 404 ⁄ 10 = 40.4 answer b"

two trains of equal lengths take 12 sec and 24 sec respectively to cross a telegraph post . if the length of each train be 120 m , in what time will they cross other travelling in opposite direction ?
"speed of the first train = 120 / 12 = 10 m / sec . speed of the second train = 120 / 24 = 5 m / sec . relative speed = 10 + 5 = 15 m / sec . required time = ( 120 + 120 ) / 15 = 16 sec . answer : e"

set a contains 4 different positive odd integers and 6 different positive even integers . set b contains two different positive odd integers and 3 different positive even integers . if one integer from set a and one integer from set b are chosen at random , what is the probability that the product of the chosen integer...
there can be an odd product only if both integers are odd . p ( odd product ) = 4 / 10 * 2 / 5 = 4 / 25 p ( even product ) = 1 - 4 / 25 = 21 / 25 the answer is d .
