A bag has 5 red and 3 blue balls. What is the probability of drawing 2 red balls?

  • A5/14
  • B10/28
  • C10/56
  • D5/28
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — 5/14
Explanation: P = C(5,2)/C(8,2) = 10/28 = 5/14. C(5,2)=10 favorable outcomes from C(8,2)=28 total. This is a combination-based probability problem. When drawing without replacement order does not matter so combinations are used. Such problems appear in probability sections of CSS FPSC and higher competitive examinations.

What is the value of log base 2 of 32 plus log base 2 of 4?

  • A7
  • B8
  • C9
  • D6
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — 7
Explanation: log₂(32) + log₂(4) = 5 + 2 = 7 using the property logb(x)+logb(y)=logb(xy) = log₂(128) = 7. Alternatively compute directly: 2⁵=32 so log₂(32)=5 and 2²=4 so log₂(4)=2. Logarithm addition and the change-of-base formula are frequently tested in competitive exam algebra sections.

Solve: x² + 4x + 4 = 0 and identify the nature of roots

  • ATwo distinct real roots
  • BOne repeated real root
  • CTwo complex roots
  • DNo roots
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — One repeated real root
Explanation: Discriminant = b²-4ac = 16-16 = 0. When D=0 there is exactly one repeated root: x = -b/2a = -4/2 = -2. This is a perfect square trinomial (x+2)² = 0. Recognizing perfect square quadratics allows instant factoring and reveals repeated roots without computing the full quadratic formula.

In a class 60% passed math 70% passed English and 20% failed both. What % passed both?

  • A50%
  • B40%
  • C30%
  • D60%
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — 50%
Explanation: Eccentricity of a circle is 0. Eccentricity measures how much a conic deviates from being circular: circle e=0 ellipse 0<e<1 parabola e=1 and hyperbola e>1. Understanding all four conic sections and their properties including eccentricity foci directrix and standard equations is required for CSS PMS and engineering entrance examinations.
