    Eight consecutive odd number = 656
    a – 6, a – 1, a – 2, a, a + 2, a + 4, a + 6 a + 8 = 656
    a = 81 ................(1)
    Smallest m = 75
    Average consecutive even numbers

    a - 2 + a + a + 2 + a + 4
    = 87
    4

    ⇒ a = 86
    Second largest number = 88
    1 + 2 = 163

    Correct Option: C

  1. A regular die has six sides with numbers 1 to 6 marked on its sides. If a very large number of throws show the following frequencies of occurrence:
    1→ 0, 167; 2 → 0, 167; 3 → 0, 152; 4 → 0,166; 5 → 0,168; 6 → 0, 180. We call this die

    For a very large number of throws, the frequency should be same for unbiased throw. As it not same, then the die is baised.

    Correct Option: B

    For a very large number of throws, the frequency should be same for unbiased throw. As it not same, then the die is baised.


  1. A train that is 280 metres long, travelling at a uniform speed, crosses a platform in 60 seconds and passes a man standing on the platform in 20 seconds. What is the length of the platform in metres?

    Let the length of platform = x m
    and train length = 280 m (given)
    According to Question

    x + 280
    =
    280
    6020

    ∴ x = 560 m.

    Correct Option: D

    Let the length of platform = x m
    and train length = 280 m (given)
    According to Question

    x + 280
    =
    280
    6020

    ∴ x = 560 m.
