option D
C is grand child of A
c=a/b
c=a-1
=>b=a/c
=>b=a/a-1
Let A, B and C be the three 6-faced dice.
Then, according to the question,
Since two dices has to be equal, that value can be any of the 6 faces, i.e., 6C1 cases.
Now for each case, 2 equal dices can be selected from 3 dices in 3C2 i.e., 3 ways.
And for each of the above, the third dice can have any of the 5 remaining faces
The possible outcomes are P(A)=61,P(B)=61,P(C)=65,P(A)=61,P(B)=65,P(C)=61 and P(A)=65,P(B)=61,P(C)=61
Hence the required probability = 61×61×65×6×3=21690=125
Friends,
The Answer given by ‘Gaurav Sharma’ is correct and
the approach (bottom to top) suggested by ‘Shailesh’ is
good. But with minor correction we can arrive the solution
using this approach:
After 5th loot, No. of breads left = 3
after 4th loot, no. of breads left = (3+0.5)x2 = 7
after 3rd loot, no. of breads left = (7+0.5)x2 = 15
after 2nd loot, no. of breads left = (15+0.5)x2 = 31
after 1st loot, no. of breads left = (31+0.5)x2 = 63
So, before 1st loot, no. of breads left = (63+0.5)x2 = 127
Given y/x = 1/3, x+2y =10
3y=x
Then substitute x=3y in x+2y=10
3y+2y=10
5y=10
y=2
Then substitute y=2 in x=3y
x=3*2
x=6
: x=6, y=2
Lets call the 5 litre jug as jug A and 3 litre jug as jug B. Now, follow the steps:
Fill jug A completely. Now it contains 5 litres.
Slowly pour the water from jug A to jug B until jug B is completely filled. Now, jug A contains 2 litres and jug B contains 3 litres.
Throw away the water in jug B so that it is completely empty. Now, jug A contains 2 litres and jug B is empty.
Transfer the water from jug A to jug B. Now, jug A is empty and jug B contains 2 litres.
Fill jug A completely. Now, jug A contains 5 litres and jug B contains 2 litres.
Transfer water from jug A to jug B until jug B is completely filled. Now, jug A contains 4 litres and jug B contains 3 litres.
Now you have 4 litres of water in jug A.
5A=3B,
*3 SO,
15A=9B
In 3 hours thinker candle becomes half
In the same time thinner candle becomes one fourth. Now the
required condition is satisfied. So 3 Hours
The number of ways of selecting a group of eight is
5 men and 3 women=5C5×6C3 =20
4 men and 4 women=5C4×6C4 =75
3 men and 5 women=5C3×6C5=60
2 men and 6 women=5C2×6C6=10
Thus the total possible cases is 20+75+60+10=165.

Capacity of the tank =(12 x 13.5) liters =162 liters.
Capacity of each bucket =9 liters
Number of buckets needed = 162/9 =18.
The numbers that lie between 100 and 1000 which are divisible by 14 are 112, 126,140 …,994
a = 112; l = 994, d = 14
n= (l−a)/d+1
= (994-112)/14+1
= 64
Sn=n/2(l+a)
= 64/2(994+112)
= 32*1106
= 35392
