(b)8
(c) 9
(d) None of these

(b) 103
(c) 6
(d) Cannot be determined
Ans: 104

5) An urn contains a number of colored balls, with equal numbers of each color. Adding 20 balls of a new color to the urn would not change the probability of drawing (without replacement) two balls of the same color. How many balls are in the urn? (Before the extra balls are added.)

b) 7
c) 11

7.  what is 1^2 - 2^2 + 3^2 - 4^2.......................+199^2 -200^2?
Ans. this can be written as ( E stands for Sigma )
n=0              n=0
E    (2n+1)^2 -  E   (2n)^2,
99               100
Now, (2n+1)^2 = 4n^2 + 4n + 1 and 2n^2 = 4n^2, so, we will have
= -(2*100)^2 + E (4n + 1)
= -(2*100)^2 + 4*E (n + 1)
= -40000 + 99 + 4*99*100/2
= -40000 + 99 + 19800
= -20101
8.  What is the sum of the series till 3n 
              Series...1 + 3 - 5 + 7 + 9 -11+ 13 + 15 - 17
Ans. take 3 terms at once, and we will have,
(1+3-5) + (7+9-11) + (13+15-17) + .....
= -1 + 5 + 11 + ....
this is clearly in 3x-1 form, where x is varying from 0 to n ( as we have 3n
terms ) thus,
= E (3x-1)
= 3*(E x) - E 1
= 3*n(n+1)/2 - n
= (3n^2 + 3n - 2n )/2
= (3n^2 + n)/2

9) A rectangle is such that it can be perfectly cut into smaller squares of a maximum possible side of
length 12 units. It is also known that the perimeter of such a rectangle is 384 units.

10) Amar transport corporation has five trucks each of which can carry 10 tonnes. The schedule of the trucks

1)49           2)60            3)63           4)70
11) If in a mixture of Alchohal and Milk say A the ratio of alch to milk is 5:7 and in another mixture say B the  ratio of alch to milk is 6:8 then what is the ratio in which these two must be taken to get a mixture with alch to milk ratio as 1:1
