Solution:

The task was simple as you can see in the picture. This is how you will cut and join the boards and then you will be able to cover the hole completely.

Solution:

A cone consists of just two surfaces.

Solution:

If you remember the formulas, you will find out that the first option cannot exist.
Side A^2 + Side B^2 = Side C^2

Thus the only possible option here is the second one and of course, it will have a greater area then

Solution:

Since every bacterium divides into two in two minutes and we know the fact that the dish was half filled with bacteria at 3 pm, after exactly 2 minutes, all will divide into two and will fill the petri dish. Thus, the petri dish will become full at 3:02 pm.

Solution:

4

Explanation:
Now if you go on calculating 2^300, you will lose so much time and it might not even be feasible to carry out so long of calculations. Thus we will make use of a trick here. We will calculate the remainder of each power of 2 till we come across a pattern.

2^1 divided by 4 leaves the remainder 2.
2^2 divided by 4 leaves the remainder 0.
2^3 divided by 4 leaves the remainder 0.
2^4 divided by 4 leaves the remainder 0.

You can see that all the following powers of two will be divisible by 4. Therefore the remainder when 2^300 is divided by 4 will be 0 only.

Solution:

16/81

Explanation:
It is a question of geometric progression but we can solve it step by step as well in case you are not aware of the formula.

At first bounce
The height at which the ball would have reached = 2/3 of the original height from which it was dropped.

At second bounce
The height at which the ball would have reached = 2/3 * 2/3 of the original height from which it was dropped.

At third bounce
The height at which the ball would have reached = 2/3 * 2/3 * 2/3 of the original height from which it was dropped.

At fourth bounce
The height at which the ball would have reached = 2/3 * 2/3 * 2/3 * 2/3 of the original height from which it was dropped.

Now, 2/3 * 2/3 * 2/3 * 2/3 = 16/81

Therefore, 16/81 of the original height from which the ball was dropped is the required fraction height.

Solution:

101

Assuming '?' is no. of runs needed by Ajit in 51st inning.
(50 * 50 + ?)/51 = 51
=>2500 + ? = 51 * 51
=> ? = 2601 - 2500
=> ? = 101 (Answer)

Solution:

The chances that the pair you take out is a white pair is zero.

Just analyze the statement carefully. If there are two colored socks in a drawer, there can be three chances if you take out a pair. It can be either black socks or white socks or a mixed of two. But as per the statement the chances of taking out a black pair of socks is 1/2. Therefore, only two chances exist. We do know that there is a mix of white and black socks in the drawer and thus the second chance has to be a mixture of them both. This is the reason why we can deduce that there are three black socks in the drawer and just one white sock. Thus the probability of taking out two white socks will be zero.

Solution:

10 percent of student study all four subjects.

Solution:

Of course, the questions has so many details and so many figures, but you have to consider just a few things. First calculate how much time will it take the friends to meet. Since they are meeting half way, they have to travel 18 miles. At the speed of 6 MPH, they will be able to do it in three hours.

Now see the fact that the parrot will keep on flying for three hours at 20 MPH. Thus the total distance that will be covered will be 60 miles.
