23. In how many ways a cricketer can score 200 runs with fours and sixes only?

a. 13
b. 17 (correct answer)
 c. 19
d. 16

Explanation:

Let the number of fours be ‘x’ and number of sixes be ‘y’

4x+6y=200
There are 17 combinations like (50,0), (47,2)…………..(2,32)
Hence, the cricketer can score a double century in 17 ways only with fours
and sixes.

24.In how many ways the letters of the word DELHI can be arranged?

a. 119
b. 120 (correct answer)
c. 60
d. 24
Explanation:

The number of ways in which letters of the word DELHI can be arranged is
5!, since there are 5 distinct letters in the word. So, 5!= 5*4*3*2*1=120.

25.  A student has to opt for 2 subjects out of 5 subjects for a course. Namely commerce,
economics, statistics, mathematics 1 and Mathematics 2, Mathematics 2 can be offered only if
mathematics 1 has also opted. The number of different combinations of two subjects which can
be opted is

a. 5
b. 6
c. 7
d. 18
Ans: c
Explanation:
Number of ways of opting a subject other than Mathematics II = 4C2. = 4x3x2!/2!x2 = 6. 

Number of ways of selection of Mathematics II = 1 

Therefore, Total Number of ways = 6+1 =7.

26. How many arrangements can be made out of the letters of the word 'ENGINEERING'?
A. 182000 B. 277200
C. None of these D. 924000

Ans: B

Explanation:
The word 'ENGINEERING' has 11 letters.

But in these 11 letters, 'E' occurs 3 times, 'N' occurs 3 times, 'G' occurs 2 times, 'I' occurs
2 times and rest of the letters are different.

Hence, number of ways to arrange these letters

11! / (3!) * (3!) * (2!) * (2!) = 277200

27. How times in a day hour and minute hand are 120 apart?
Ans: 44

28. At what time between 7 and 8 o'clock will the hands of a clock be in the same straight line but, not
together?

(A) 5(2/11) min. past 7 (B) 5 min. past 7 (C) 5(3/11)min. past 7 (D) 5(5/11)min. past 7

Ans :D

Formula is 30H-(11/2)M=180

Here H=7 o'clock, M=5 min, both hands are 180 degree apart

(30*7)-180= (11/2)M

M= 5(5/11) min, Ans is 5(5/11)min. past 7

29. Find the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock when the time is 3.25?

Ans: 47.5°
Explanation:
At 3 O'clock, Minute hand is at 12 while the Hour hand is at 3. Again the minute hand
has to sweep through ( 30 x 5 ) ie 150° for reaching the figure 5 to show 25 mins. 
Simultaneously the Hour hand will also rotate for 25 mins. Thus starting from the mark, 3
the hour hand will cover an angle = (25 x 30) / 60 = 12.5° 
Hence, Angle between Hour and the Minute hand = ( 60- 12.5 ) = 47.5°
30. How much does a watch lose per day, if its hands coincide every 64 minutes?

(A)31 min (B) 32(8/11) min (C) 30(5/11) min (D)28(3/11) min

Ans :B

Actually both hour and minute hands coincide for every 65(5/11) minutes. So, for 64 min it loses
1(5/11) min, then how many minutes it lose for a day(24*60 min)? ( do cross multiplication).
