q: A train running at the speed of 60 km/hr crosses a pole in 9 sec. What is the length of the train?
Options:
(A) 356
(B) 278
(C) 127
(D) 279
(E) 150
a: Stream of consciousness: Speed = 60 * 5/18 = 50/3 m/sec

question: A marble shop contains 6 blue marbles, 7 red marbles, and 7 green marbles. If 4 marbles are purchased at random from the shop, what is the probability that the 4 marbles will be blue?
Options:
(A) 5/19
(B) 9/20
(C) 1/57
(D) 15/57
(E) 15/684
