    That’s not correct.

    The correct answer is 153/190.

    Here is the solution :

    Probability that neither of the light bulb selected will be the one that is defective

    = ( Favorable cases) / (Total number of cases)

    Out of 20 bulbs, 2 are defective. So in order to be sure that the selected bulb is not defective, inspector can select any 2 bulbs from (20-2=)18 non-defective bulbs.

    = 18C2/ 20C2

    = ( 9 * 17 ) / ( 10 * 19 )

    = 153/190

  3. From the discussion What is the avg GRE score required for different US universities?

    Tue, 17 Nov 2009 05:56:39 -0000

    Hi Archana

    However, you would need to make sure that your score reaches the university before the deadline. The admission committee will review your application only after scores have been received.

  7. From the unknown *52.* A certain pair of used shoes can be repaired for $12.50 and will last for 1 year. A pair of the same kind of shoes can be purchased new for $28.00 and will last for 2 years. The average cost per year of the new shoes is what percent greater than the cost of repairing the used shoes?

    Tue, 17 Nov 2009 05:36:58 -0000

    The average cost per year of the new shoes = 28/2 = $ 14

    14 (1 + x/100) = 12.50

    x = 12%

  11. From the unknown *Choose Antonyms:*
    *22.* Resilient

    Tue, 17 Nov 2009 05:24:07 -0000

    Resilient means flexible. Hence the opposite is a word that means “not flexible.” Unyielding means “not flexible” and hence is the correct answer.

  15. From the trivia question A man travels 4 km north and then 3 km west. How fast can he reach back his starting point if he travels at 2.5km/hr?

    Wed, 11 Nov 2009 07:53:26 -0000

    The shortest distance between the starting and final point is :

    Sq. root of [(4 ^ 2) + (3 ^ 2)] = 5

    Time= Distance / Speed = 5 / 2.5 = 2 hrs

    *49.* The equation of line l is y = (2/3) x - 1
    Line m is perpendicular to the line y = 3/2)x + 1.
    *Column A* the slope of line l
    *Column B* the slope of line m

    Wed, 11 Nov 2009 07:26:29 -0000

    The line m is perpendicular to the line y = -(3/2)x + 1 i.e to the line whose slope is -3/2. Hence the slope of m would be 2/3.

  20. From the unknown *39*. If the perimeter of square region S and the perimeter of circular region C are equal, then the ratio of the area of S to the area of C is closest to

    Wed, 11 Nov 2009 07:12:22 -0000

    Let s be the side of square and r be the radius of circle.

    Perimeter of square = 4a

    Perimeter of circle = 2 * 3.14 * r

    4s = 2 * 3.14 * r

    or s = ( 3.14 * r ) / 4

    Now, ratio = ( s * s ) / ( 3.14 * r * r )

    Putting the value of s, we get

    Ratio = 3.14 / 4 = 3 / 4
