Correct answer is D
For the committee to include 2 females, we must have 3 males, so that there should be 5 members.
That is, \(^4C_3 \times ^3C_2\)
= \(\frac{4!}{(4 - 3)! 3!} \times \frac{3!}{(3 - 2)! 2!}\)
= 4 × 3 = 12 ways
{1, 3, 6}
{3, 5, 9, 12}
{3, 9, 15}
{2, 3, 9}
Correct answer is C
μ = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20} A = {3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18} B = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19} A ∩ B = {3, 9, 15}
If the 3rd and 7th terms of a G.P are 9 and 1/9 respectively. Find the common ratio.
\(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{1}{9}\)
\(\frac{2}{3}\)
\(\frac{2}{9}\)
Correct answer is A
\(T_n = ar^{n - 1}\) (terms of a G.P)
\(T_3 = ar^2 = 9\) ... (i)
\(T_7 = ar^6 = \frac{1}{9}\) ... (ii)
Divide (i) by (ii);
\(\frac{ar^6}{ar^2} = \frac{\frac{1}{9}}{9}\)
\(r^4 = \frac{1}{81}\)
\(r^4 = (\frac{1}{3})^4\)
\(r = \frac{1}{3}\)
Find the probability that a number selected at random from 21 to 34 is a multiple of 3
\(\frac{3}{11}\)
\(\frac{2}{9}\)
\(\frac{5}{14}\)
\(\frac{5}{13}\)
Correct answer is C
S = {21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34}
n(S) = 14
multiples of 3 = {21, 24, 27, 30, 33}
n(multiples of 3) = 5
Prob( picking a multiple of 3) = 5/14
Integrate \(\int (4x^{-3} - 7x^2 + 5x - 6) \mathrm d x\).
\(-2x^{-2} - \frac{7}{3}x^3 + \frac{5}{2} x^2 - 6x\)
\(2x^2 + \frac{7}{3} x^3 - 5x + 6\)
\(12x^2 + 14x - 5\)
\(-12x^{-4} - 14x + 5\)
Correct answer is A
\(\int (4x^{-3} - 7x^2 + 5x - 6) \mathrm d x\)
= \(\frac{4x^{-3 + 1}}{-3 + 1} - \frac{7x^{2 + 1}}{2 + 1} + \frac{5x^{1 + 1}}{1 + 1} - 6x\)
= \(-2x^{-2} - \frac{7}{3} x^3 + \frac{5}{2} x^2 - 6x\)
