Hi guys, there is an institute called 2iim, conducting a boot camp (in chennai) where they say they will solve tough questions from difficult topics in math and verbal. they also claim to be organised by Rajesh balasubramanian, hundred percentiler in previous year CAT. but fees is 1500, for two days. Is it worth going? I'm on the fence about how useful this might be. Any inputs will be appreciated. more details here: chennai.2iim.com.

thanks in advance

1. A medical clinic tests blood for certain disease from which approximately one person in a hundred suffers. People come to the clinic in group of 50. The operator of the clinic wonders whether he can increase the efficiency of the testing procedure by conducting pooled tests. In the pooled test, the operator would pool the 50 blood samples and test them altogether. If the pooled test was negative, he could pronounce the whole group healthy. If not, he could then test each person's blood individually. The expected number of tests the operator will have to perform if he pools the blood samples are:

A. 47 B. 25 C. 21 D. None of the above

2. The game of "chuck-a-luck" is played at carnivals in some parts of Europe. Its rules are as follows: if you pick a number from 1 to 6 and the operator rolls three dice.

Only if the number you picked does not come up at all, you pay the operator .1. The probability that you will win money playing in this game is:

A. 0.52 B. 0.753 C. 0.42 D. None of the above
