in a certain egg - processing plant , every egg must be inspected , and is either accepted for processing or rejected . for every 96 eggs accepted for processing , 4 eggs are rejected . if , on a particular day , 12 additional eggs were accepted , but the overall number of eggs inspected remained the same , the ratio of those accepted to those rejected would be 99 to 1 . how many w eggs does the plant process per day ?
"straight pluggin in for me . as usual , i started with c and got the answer . lets ' back calculate and see what we get let us consider eggs processed each day to be 400 so initial ratio of eggs processed and rejected is 96 : 4 or 24 : 1 so out of 400 eggs , there will be 384 eggs processed and 16 rejected . now if the no . of eggs inspected remain and 12 more eggs get accepted that means there w = 384 + 12 = 396 eggs accepted and 4 rejected . . . and the ratio will be 99 : 1 bingo . . . this is what the questions says . . . . its always a good idea to start with c ."

when anunfaircoin is tossed twice , the probability of getting one tails and one heads is 1 / 2 . what is the probability of getting two heads and two tails if the coin is tossed 4 times ?
let the probability of heads be x and the probability of tails be 1 - x . so , we are given that p ( one tails and one heads ) = 2 * x * ( 1 - x ) = 1 / 2 . p ( two heads and two tails ) = 4 ! / ( 2 ! 2 ! ) * x ^ 2 * ( 1 - x ) ^ 2 = 6 * ( x * ( 1 - x ) ) ^ 2 . we are multiplying by 4 ! / ( 2 ! 2 ! ) because hhtt scenario can occur in several ways : hhtt , htht , thht , . . . ( permutation of 4 letters hhtt where 2 t ' s and 2 h ' s are the same ) . since from 2 * x * ( 1 - x ) = 1 / 2 it follows that x * ( 1 - x ) = 1 / 4 , then 4 * ( x * ( 1 - x ) ) ^ 2 = 4 * ( 1 / 6 ) ^ 2 = 1 / 9 . answer : e .

explanation : sum of 1 st 10 natural numbers ( 1 – 10 ) = 1 + 2 + … 10 = 55 . sum of next 10 natural numbers ( 11 – 20 ) = 10 + 11 + 12 + … 20 = 100 + 55 = 155 . sum of next 10 natural numbers ( 31 – 40 ) = 255 . sum of numbers from 31 – 40 = 355 and so on and on . so , we have here 55 + 155 + 255 = 465 . if we add 355 to 465 , it will be way more than 575 . so , we can add one by one . 465 + 31 + 32 + 33 = 561 . 465 + 31 + 32 + 33 + 34 = 595 . thus , the sum should be 595 instead of 575 , and the missing number is 20 . answer : d
