Question: When a coin is tossed 4 times, what is the probability of getting at most 3 heads? 

Answer: 0.9375

Q: A family has husband, wife and three children A, B and C. The present age of husband is 5 years more than the wife's present age. Wife's present age is twice the present age of A. The present age of A is 12 years more than the present age of B. B's present age is 2 times the present age of C. If C is 12 years old at present, what is the present age of husband's friend Ram who is 15 years younger than the husband?

Solution: 

Let's calculate step by step:

1. C's age = 12 years

2. B's age = 2 × C = 2 × 12 = 24 years

3. A's age = B + 12 = 24 + 12 = 36 years

4. Wife's age = 2 × A = 2 × 36 = 72 years

5. Husband's age = Wife + 5 = 72 + 5 = 77 years

6. Ram's age = Husband − 15 = 77 − 15 = 62 years

Answer: 62 years
