Answer : 2. "3/10"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 3/10 Explanation: Here, S = {1, 2, 3, 4, ...., 19, 20}=> n(s) = 20Let E = event of getting a multiple of 4 or 15 =multiples od 4 are {4, 8, 12, 16, 20}And multiples of 15 means multiples of 3 and 5= {3, 6 , 9, 12, 15, 18, 5, 10, 15, 20}.= the common multiple is only (15).=> E = n(E)= 6Required Probability = P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 6/20 = 3/10.

Answer : 4. "15"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 15 Explanation: Let 'K' be the total number of sweets.Given total number of students = 112If sweets are distributed among 112 children,Let number of sweets each student gets = 'L' => K/112 = L ....(1)But on that day students absent = 32 => remaining = 112 - 32 = 80Then, each student gets '6' sweets extra. => K/80 = L + 6 ....(2)from (1) K = 112L substitute in (2), we get112L = 80L + 48032L = 480L = 15 Therefore, 15 sweets were each student originally supposed to get.

Answer : 2. "K=1 & L=4"
Explanation :

Answer: B) K=1 & L=4 Explanation: As per divisibility rule a number is divisible by 6 means it should be divisible by 2 and 3 case 1 : the divisibility rule for 2 is the number should be end with even number in this case R =2 & R=4 case 2 : The divisibility rule for 3 is the sum of numbers should be divisible by 3so if we take option (2) Q=1 & R=4 the sum is 39 if we take option (3) Q=1 & R=2 the sum is 37 So Option (2) is correct 39 is divided by 3
