Geometric mean
Correct Answer
A. Harmonic meanExplanation
The harmonic mean is the ratio between the number of items and the sum of the reciprocals of the items. It is a measure of central tendency that is used when dealing with rates or ratios. It is calculated by dividing the number of items by the sum of their reciprocals. The harmonic mean is useful when dealing with quantities that have a reciprocal relationship, such as speed and time. It gives more weight to smaller values, making it suitable for situations where extreme values need to be minimized.Rate this question:

If the mean of 6, 4, 7, p and 10 is 8 then p = _______
- A.
13
- B.
12
- C.
10
- D.
11
Correct Answer
A. 13Explanation
To find the value of p, we need to calculate the sum of all the numbers and then subtract the sum of the given numbers (6, 4, 7, and 10) from the total sum. The sum of the given numbers is 27 (6+4+7+10) and the mean is 8. The mean is calculated by dividing the sum by the number of values, so the total sum is 8 multiplied by 5 (the number of values), which is 40. To find p, we subtract the sum of the given numbers (27) from the total sum (40), which gives us 13. Therefore, p = 13.Rate this question:

How many permutations of the letters of the word 'REETA' are there?
- A.
60
- B.
55
- C.
50
- D.
70
Correct Answer
A. 60Explanation
The word "REETA" has 5 letters. To find the number of permutations, we use the formula for permutations of distinct objects, which is n!, where n is the number of objects. In this case, n=5. Therefore, the number of permutations of the letters of the word "REETA" is 5! = 5x4x3x2x1 = 120. However, since the letter 'E' appears twice, we need to divide the total number of permutations by 2 to account for the repeated letter. Therefore, the correct answer is 120/2 = 60.Rate this question:

3 men and 3 ladies are candidates for two posts. A voter has to vote for 2 candidates. In how many ways can one cast his vote?
- A.
15
- B.
20
- C.
40
- D.
60
Correct Answer
A. 15Explanation
In order to vote for 2 candidates out of a total of 6 (3 men and 3 ladies), the voter can choose any combination of 2 candidates from the total pool. The number of ways to choose 2 candidates out of 6 can be calculated using the formula for combinations, which is nCr = n! / (r!(n-r)!). In this case, n = 6 and r = 2. Plugging in these values, we get 6! / (2!(6-2)!) = 6! / (2!4!) = (6x5) / (2x1) = 15. Therefore, there are 15 ways in which one can cast his vote.Rate this question:
