Find the greatest possible length which can be used to measure exactly the lengths 4 m 95 cm, 9 m and 16 m 65 cm.
[ "44", "42", "45", "49" ]
C
Required length = H.C.F. of 495 cm, 900 cm and 1665 cm. 495 = 3^2 x 5 x 11, 900 = 2^2 x 3^2 x 5^2, 1665 = 3^2 x 5 x 37. Therefore, H.C.F. = 32 x 5 = 45. Hence, required length = 45 cm. Answer is A.

In a bag containing 3balls, a white ball was placed and then 1ball was taken out at random. What is the probability that the extracted ball would turnon to be white, if all possible hypothesis concerning thecolor of theballs that initiallyin the bag were equally possible ?
[ "4/9", "5/8", "2/3", "3/5" ]
B
Since, all possible hypothesis regarding the colour of the balls are equally likely, therefore these could be 3 white balls, initially in the bag. ∴ Required probability = 1/4 [1 + 3/4 + 1/2 + 1/4] = 1/4 [(4 + 3 + 2 + 1)/4] = 5/8 B
