Answer : 2. "19/90"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 19/90 Explanation: ASSISTANT→AAINSSSTT STATISTICS→ACIISSSTTT Here N and C are not common and same letters can be A, I, S, T. Therefore  Probability of choosing A =  2C19C1×1C110C1 = 1/45   Probability of choosing I = 19C1×2C110C1 = 1/45 Probability of choosing S = 3C19C1×3C110C1 = 1/10 Probability of choosing T = 2C19C1×3C110C1 = 1/15 Hence, Required probability =   145+145+110+115= 1990

Answer : 2. "0"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 0 Explanation: = log tan10+log tan890 + log tan20+ log tan880+⋯⋯+log tan450     = log [tan10 × tan890] + log [tan20 × tan880 ] +⋯⋯+log1     ∵ tan(90-θ)=cotθ and tan 450=1     = log 1 + log 1 +.....+log 1    = 0.

Answer : 1. "4%"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 4% Explanation: SP of first article = Rs.1000   Profit = 20%  CP = SP x 100100+P% = Rs. 25003 SP of Second Article = Rs.1000  Loss = 20%  CP = SP x 100100-L% = Rs. 1250   So, Total SP = Rs.2000; Total CP = Rs.6250/3   As the CP is more than SP, he makes a loss.   Loss = CP - SP = (6250/3) - 2000 = Rs.(250/3)   So, Loss Percent = Lossx100/CP = 4%
