Answer : 1. "3/91"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 3/91 Explanation: In a circle of n different persons, the total number of arrangements possible = (n - 1)!Total number of arrangements = n(S) = (15 – 1)! = 14 !Taking three persons as a unit, total persons = 13 (in 4 units)Therefore no. of ways for these 13 persons to around the circular table = (13 - 1)! = 12!In any given unit, 3 particular person can sit in 3!. Hence total number of ways that any three person can sit =n(E) = 12! X 3!Therefore P (E) = probability of three persons sitting together = n(E) / n(S) = 12! X 3 ! / 14!= 12!x3x2 / 14x13x12! = 6/14x13 = 3/91

Answer : 1. "63 and 49"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 63 and 49 Explanation: Since their HCFs are 7, numbers are divisible by 7 and are of the form 7x and 7y Difference = 14 => 7x - 7y = 14=> x - y = 2 product of numbers = product of their hcf and lcm=> 7x * 7y = 441 * 7=> x * y = 63 Now, we havex * y = 63 , x - y = 2=> x = 9 , y = 7 The numbers are 7x and 7y=> 63 and 49

Answer : 3. "102 men"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 102 men Explanation: From the above formula i.e (m1 x t1/w1) = (m2 x t2/w2) so, [(34 x 8 x 9)/(2/5)] = [(M x 6 x 9)/(3/5)] so, M = 136 men Number of men to be added to finish the work = 136-34 = 102 men.
