If 20 men can build a wall 66 metres long in 6 days, what length of a similar can be built by 86 men in 8 days?
[ "A)49.5m", "B)46 m", "C)49 m", "D)46.5m" ]
C
Let the required length be x metres More men, More length built (Direct Proportion) Less days, Less length built (Direct Proportion) Men 20: 35 Days 6: 3 : : 56 : x Therefore (20 x 6 x x)=(35 x 3 x 56)<=>x=(35 x 3 x 56)/120=49 Hence, the required length is 49 m. Answer is C.

[ "A)44/91", "B)77/832", "C)11/77", "D)308/1411" ]
A
Total possible selections = 4 out of 15 group members = 15C4 Favorable selections = 1 out of 4 women and 3 out of 11 (= 6 men + 5 children) = 4C1 * 11C3 Thus the required probability = 4C1*11C3 / 15C4 = 44/91. Thus A is the correct answer.

D
Serous inflammation is the mildest form of acute inflammation. A blister is a good example of serous inflammation. It is associated primarily with exudation of fluid into the sub-corneal or subepidermal space. Because the injury is mild, the fluid is relatively protein-poor. A protein-rich exudate results in fibrin acc...
