[QUOTE=Taimoor Gondal;913372]yes this question was wrong. instead of putting V or Z he put X again.
1 quetions ov percentage in mcqs portion was also wrong.
options were 20, 22.5, 25, 27.5.
but the correct option was 24 which was not present in options[/QUOTE]

i have to rearrange my maths skills to solve this question.

Can anyone solve question 11 & 12?Please?

A) total number of stores 80
B) 21 to 30 km as 26 stores lie in this distance band
C) 16 stores at least because they are sure 41 kms away. We are not sure about how many stores are exactly farther than 35 km in 31-40 km range
D) 20+16=36/80*100: 45 percent stores are 31 or more km away.

Probability of AB blood group is number of people with AB/ total no.of people
=(125/1000)
=0.125

Oh, an interesting story related to this question, after the paper, I asked a lady how she solved this question, she was saying by allocating the weight according to data given, she said that although, it consumed my 15 minutes but my answer was correct. And I was shocked her descending order of weight was absolutely correct.This is said to be a presence of mind.
About me,
(alhamdollilah, my majority of questions are also correct, though objective created problem for me)
And my folly, I did know the formula of range, but in hustle bustle I have not attempted.

So my answer is the same as of that lady?
Although I am sure about my answer but you know there is always another way to around to look at the problem at hand.

Its wrong. the descending order should be :
ahmad
ali
akbar
nasir
shehbaz

Solution:

ahmad > 3*ali
ali > 5*akbar
akbar > 0.5*nasir
nasir> 0.5*shehbaz

1) heaviest is Ahmad
2) lightest is shehbaz
3) shehbaz is lighter than all students
4) shehbaz is heavier than no one.
5) Descending order :
ahmad
ali
akbar
nasir
shehbaz :pipe

@lonely, what makes you put inequality i.e. the greater than symbol, between variables?

Pit an equal sign and solve it.

Yes it requires an equal mark. but its in order like
a>b>c>d>e .. no need to solve when its evident.
I would like to see what you did.

If you are taking "thrice as much as" as "Ahmad = 3*Ali" , then why are not doing the same to "half as much as" :ohmy:

Strandedsoul Friday, March 25, 2016 08:31 PM

No use studying
 
FPSC should not have given syllabus for this paper ...
more than 80% of paper was out of syllabus & QUESTIONS FROM STATS WERE SOOOO SOOOO SOOOO ANNOYING .. What of those who had never studied stats???? read the PRESCRIBED SYLLABUS and compare it with the paper given... NO USE STUDYING !!!!


..moreover, yes, calculator call was also given after candidates had already in their mind that " No calculators are allowed" ...FGS it was "ability" test as the name refers!
but those who went *out of the way* to bring calculators along , got profit.. RIP abiding by of rules..

supergenius Friday, March 25, 2016 09:31 PM

Take it this way,
Akbar weighs half as much as nasir
Akbar is 1kg if nasir is 2kg.

Also nasir weighs half as much as shehbaz.
Nasir is 2kg if shehbaz is 4kg.

Therefore shehbaz weighs 4 times than akbar.

But if you read half as much as twice, it is a different story. You can call me wrong, freedom of speech!

Then I will continue considering it because for me , its not 'half as less as'.
It can be moulded in both directions but lets just see in what way the examiner sees. Peace ! :laughing

supergenius Saturday, March 26, 2016 01:47 AM

@lonely

Ovations!
They say that there is always another way to look at the problem at hand. But a little google reveals that the jargon 'half as much as' in mathematics translates to both the 0.5 and 1.5. Lets see what the examiner choses.

Goodluck!

[QUOTE=Noreturn;956876]Can anyone post ans to question12 (b) part. It looks quite simple but i think it's technically wrong question.[/QUOTE]

It's a simple question and there is no need to complicate it in your own head. The information is literally given and all you have to do is write 2 lines down D:

i) Ahmed went to V or Z by bus. Cannot be deciphered which, given the lack of information

ii) Ali went to X by air

It can be thought of as a trick question, given how easy it was and the heavy marks it held.

Part (i) cannot be deciphered with the given information.

[QUOTE=Nazish Hina;913455]The universe has a total distance of 17.7 billion light years. Some star is 17.3 billion light years away. If it is eliminated/extinguished today, when will we see it?

If 3P+q=14 and P+2Q=12
What is P?

*I'm not sure about the values :D[/QUOTE]

Theses values are valid
3P+q=14
P+2Q=12

=> P= (14 - q) /3 ______eq I
=> P= 12 - 2Q_________eq II
By subtracting, we get
3P+q=14
P+2Q=12
-----------------
2p+q-2Q = 2
Divinding by 2,we get

=>P+q/2-Q=1

=>P=Q-q/2
=>Q=P+q/2
=>q=2(Q-P)

Any aforementioned value can be find out by putting these in above equation I and II.

it can deciphered without any doubt if you apply the rules of chronology.

The three boys, ali, akbar and nasir along with the mode of transport and destinations are in chronological order. Shahbaz who should have been placed on number two has been placed at number 5 just to ditch the candidates. If we place shahbaz on number two, everything will become clear.
thus Ahmad went to v by bus.
let me place all in chronological order
a. Ahmed went to v by bus
b. Shahbaz went to w by train
c. Ali went to x by air
d. Akbar went to y by car
e. Nasir went to z by boat

Complete Solution of 11(b)
 
Data:
1. Ahmad weighs thrice as much as Ali
[B][I]Ahmed=3(Ali)[/I][/B]

2. Ali weighs five times as much as Akbar
[B][I]Ali=5(Akbar)[/I][/B]

3. Akbar weighs half as much as Nasir
[B][I]Akbar=1/2(Nasir)[/I][/B]

4. Nasir weighs half as much as Shehbaz
[B][I]Nasir=1/2(Shahbaz)[/I][/B]

Solution:

Ahmed=3(Ali)
Ali=5(Akbar)
Akbar=1/2(Nasir)
Nasir=1/2(Shahbaz)

Let
Ahmed=a
Ali=b
Akbar=c
Nasir=d
Shahbaz=e

So,
a = 3b
b = 5c
c = 1/2(d) = 0.5d
d = 1/2(e) = 0.5e

Or,
a=3b
b=5c
d=2c
e=2d

As,
a=3b
and
b=5c

So,
a=3(b)=3(5c)=15c
a=15c

Similarly,
e=2d
and
d=2c

So,
e=2(d)=2(2c)=4c
e=4c

Now,
a=15c
b=5c
d=2c
e=4c

Arranging in descending order

a=15c
b=5c
e=4c
d=2c
c=c

In other words
Ahmed = 15(Akbar)
Ali = 5(Akbar)
Shahbaz = 4(Akbar)
Nasir = 2(Akbar)
Akbar = Akbar

So,
[B][I]i. Who is the heaviest in weight?[/I][/B]
Ahmed

[B][I]ii. Who is the lightest in weight?[/I][/B]
Akbar

[B][I]iii. Shahbez is lighter in weight than which of the two students?[/I][/B]
Ahmed and Ali

[B][I]iv. Shahbez is heavier in weight than which of the two students?[/I][/B]
Nasir and Akbar

[B][I]v. Show the descending order of weights of the two students?[/I][/B]
1. Ahmed
2. Ali
3. Shahbaz
4. Nasir
5. Akbar
