189. Given, consumer price index in, (say), period I = 120 and consumer price index in (say),
period II = 215. The wages of the worker in period I and II are given to be Rs. 1,680 and
Rs. 3000 respectively. The real wages of the worker in the current period II with respect
to the period I as base, are given by:
120
Rs. ×3000 =Rs.1674.42
215
Since this wage (Rs. 1674.42) is less than the wages of the worker in the period I (Viz.
Rs. 1680) the workers is not better off but worse off R. 5.58 as compared to the period I.
Ans. (a)

The required event of getting 1 girl and 2 boys in a random selection of 3 children can
materialize in the following mutually exclusive cases.
(i) Girl from the first group and boys from the 2nd and 3rd group i.e. the event G ∩B

184. Given P(A) = 0.5, P (AB) < 0.3
By Addition thereon,
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) P (AB)
∴ P(A) + P(B) P(AB) < 1 [∴ P(A or B) < 1]
∴ P(B) < 1 P(A) + P (AB)

188. After a man is dealt 4 spade cards from an ordinary pack of 52 cards, there are 52 4 =
48 cards left in the pack, out of which 9 are spade cards and 39 are no spade cards.
Now, 3 more cards can be dealt to the same man out of the 48 cards in 48C ways, which
3
determines the exhaustive number of ways.
If none of these 3 additional cards is a spade cards, then the 3 additional cards must be
drawn out of the 39 non-spade cards, which can be done in 39C ways.

155. Let the unit's digit of the number be x and ten's digit by y
Then x + y = 12 → (1)
and the number = 10y + x
Reversing the order of digits of the given number,
Unit's digit becomes y
and ten's digits becomes x
∴ New number = 10 x + y
According to the given condition of the problem (10x + y) – (x + 10y) = 18
9x – 9y = –18
x–y= –2→ (2)
Adding (1) and (2) ⇒ 2x = 10

Let their monthly expenditures be Rs. 4 y and Rs. 3 y respectively.
According ot the given condition of the problem,
9x – 4y = 200 → (1)
7x – 3y = 200 → (2)
Multiply (1) by 3, we get
27x – 12y = 600
Multiply (2) by 4, we get
28x – 12y = 800
Subtracting (3) from (4), we get
x = 200
Hence their monthly income are Rs. (9×200=1800) and Rs. (7 × 200 = 1400).

186. From the given data, we observe that
20 + 5 = 25
21 + 4 = 25
and 22 + 3 = 25
Thus, x and y are connected by the linear relation: x + y = 25 → (1)
⇒ There is perfect correlation between x and y
⇒ r = ±1 → (2)
From (1) / We get y = 25 – x
∴ As x increases, y decreases (by the same amount)
⇒ x and y are negatively correlated → (3)
From (2) and (3), we conclude that

x + 5 = 3 (y + 5)
x + 5 = 3y + 15
x – 3y = 15 – 5 = 10 → (2)
Put x = 4y from (1) in (2), we get
4y – 3y = 10
y = 10
(1) ⇒ x = 4 (10) = 40
Hence the required numbers are 40 and 10.
Ans. (b)
162. Let A having money = 3x
B having money = 4x
C having money = 5x
Given 3x = 300
x = 100
∴ C = 5x = 5 × 100 = 500
Ans. (c)
163. Let the two numbers be x and y. According to the first condition of the problem.
x 5
=
y 6
6x = 5y
6x – 5y = 0 → (1)
