MCQ 91 Mark
If $A$ is a square matrix such that $A^2=A$, then $(I+A)^3-7 A$ is equal to
  • A
    I - A
  • B
    3A
  • C
    A
  • D
    1
Answer

(d) I
Explanation: Given that $A^2=A$
Calculating value of $(I+A)^3-7 A$ :
$
\begin{array}{l}
(I+A)^3-7 A=I^3+A^3+3 I^2 A+3 I A^2-7 A \\
=I+A^2 \cdot A+3 A+3 A+3 A^2-7 A\left(I^n=I \text { and } I \cdot A=A\right) \\
=I+A \cdot A+3 A+3 A-7 A\left(A^2=A\right) \\
=I+A+3 A+3 A-7 A
\end{array}
$
Hence, $(I+A)^3-7 A=I$

In a 500 m race, the ratio of speeds of two contestants $A$ and $B$ is $3: 4$. If $A$ gets a start of 140 m , then he wins by:
  • A
    10 m
  • B
    60 m
  • C
    20 m
  • D
    40 m
Answer

(c) 20 m
Explanation: To reach the winning post A will have to cover a distance of $(500-140) m =360 m$ While A covers 3 m , B covers 4 m .
While A covers $360 m, B$ covers $=\frac{4 \times 360}{3}=480 m$

MCQ 121 Mark
A card is drawn from an ordinary pack of 52 cards and a gambler bets that it is a heart or a king card. What are the odds against his winning this bet?
  • A
    4:1
  • B
    4:9
  • C
    1:4
  • D
    9:4
Answer

(d) $9: 4$
Explanation: Let events A: a heart is drawn
Event B: a King card is drawn.
The probability of winning the bet $= P ( A$ or B $)$
$
\begin{array}{l}
P(A \text { or } B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A \cap B) \\
=\frac{13}{52}+\frac{4}{52}-\frac{1}{52} \text { (There is one king of heart) } \\
=\frac{13+4-1}{52} \frac{16}{52}=\frac{4}{13} \\
\therefore \text { Probability of losing the bet }=1-\frac{4}{13}=\frac{9}{13}
\end{array}
$
The odds against an event are the ratio of the number of ways the event cannot happen to the number of ways it can happen.
$\therefore$ the odds against drawing a heart or a king are $\frac{9}{13}: \frac{4}{13}=9: 4$.

A coin is tossed 4 times. The probability that at least one head turns up, is
  • A
    $\frac{2}{16}$
  • B
    $\frac{15}{16}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{16}$
  • D
    $\frac{14}{16}$
Answer

(b) $\frac{15}{16}$
Explanation: $n =4, p = q =\frac{1}{2}$
$
\begin{array}{l}
P(X \geq 1)=1-P(X=0) \\
P(X \geq 1)=1-\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^4 \\
P(X \geq 1)=\frac{15}{16}
