Question : A person can hit a target 5 times out of 8 shots. If he fires 10 shots, what is the probability that he will hit the target twice?
Option 1: $\frac{1135 \times 3^8}{8^{10}}$
Option 2: $\frac{1165 \times 3^8}{8^{10}}$
Option 3: $\frac{1175 \times 3^8}{8^{10}}$
Option 4: $\frac{1125 \times 3^8}{8^{10}}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{1125 \times 3^8}{8^{10}}$
Solution : Probability of hitting = $\frac{5}{8}$ Probability of losing = $\frac{3}{8}$ Probability of hitting twice when 10 shots are fired = 10C2$(\frac{5}{8})^2(\frac{3}{8})^8$ = $\frac{10×9×5×5}{1×2}$× $\frac{ 3^8}{8^{10}}$ = $\frac{1125 ×3^8}{8^{10}}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1125 ×3^8}{8^{10}}$.

Taking the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows the given statements. Statements: Some P is K. No K is T. Conclusions: I. All P is T. II. All T is K. III. Some P is not T.
Option 1: Only conclusion II follows
Option 2: Only conclusion III follows
Option 3: All conclusions follow
Option 4: Both conclusions II and III follow

Question : If $ \frac{(5x\:-\:y)}{(5x\:+\:y)}=\frac{3}{7},$ what is the value of $\frac{(4x^{2}\:+\:y^{2}\:–\:4xy)}{(9x^{2}\:+\:16y^{2}\:+\:24xy)}$?
Option 1: $0$
Option 2: $\frac{3}{7}$
Option 3: $\frac{18}{49}$
Option 4: $\frac{1}{6}$
Correct Answer: $0$
Solution : Given: $\frac{(5x\:-\:y)}{(5x\:+\:y)}=\frac{3}{7}$ $⇒35x-7y=15x+3y$ $⇒20x-10y=0$ $⇒2x-y=0$---------------(i) $\frac{(4x^{2}\:+\:y^{2}\:-\:4xy)}{(9x^{2}\:+\:16y^{2}\:+\:24xy)}$ = $\frac{(2x\:-\:y)^{2}}{(9x^{2}\:+\:16y^{2}\:+\:24xy)}$ Since from equation (i), we know $2x-y=0$, substituting the value in the above equation, we get, $=\frac{0}{(9x^{2}\:+\:16y^{2}\:+\:24xy)}=$ 0 Hence, the correct answer is $0$.
