Which key combination is used to permanently delete a file or folder?
- a)Alt + delete
- b)CTRL + delete
- c)Shift + delete (correct answer)
- d)End + delete
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (c) Shift + delete

Other options: (a) Alt + delete — not a delete shortcut in Microsoft's Windows list; (b) CTRL + delete — in text it deletes words to the right of the cursor, not files; (d) End + delete — End only scrolls to the bottom of the active window (or moves the cursor to the end of the line).
Also know:
- In File Explorer, Ctrl+Shift+N creates a new folder and F2 renames the selected item.
- In Word, Ctrl+Backspace deletes one word to the left and Ctrl+Delete deletes one word to the right.

There are 8 marbles in a box - 6 red and 2 black. If you randomly pick 2 marbles simultaneously what is the probability that you will get one red and 1 black marble?
- a)3/7 (correct answer)
- b)3/14
- c)3/8
- d)None
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (a) 3/7
All pairs of marbles are equally likely, so P = favourable pairs ÷ all pairs.
- All pairs: C(8, 2) = 8 × 7 ÷ 2 = 28.
- One red and one black: 6 × 2 = 12 pairs.
- P = 12/28 = 3/7.
- Check in order: P(red then black) + P(black then red) = (6/8)(2/7) + (2/8)(6/7) = 12/56 + 12/56 = 3/7.
Other options: (b) 3/14 — counts only "red first, then black" (12/56) and misses the other order; (c) 3/8 — would need 10.5 of the 28 pairs, which is impossible; (d) None — wrong, because 3/7 is listed.
Also know:
- C(n, r) = n!/(r!(n − r)!) counts selections in which order does not matter.
- The three cases add to 1: two red 15/28, one of each 12/28, two black 1/28.
- Theoretical probability needs equally likely outcomes in the sample space.

Jashim and Imran start walking from A to B at 5 and 3 km per hour respectively. Jashim reaches B and starts back for A. How far from B will he meet Imran if the distance between A and B is 32 km?
- a)6
- b)8 (correct answer)
- c)9
- d)12
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (b) 8
When they meet, Jashim has walked to B and back d km, and Imran is d km short of B.
- Together they cover (32 + d) + (32 − d) = 64 km.
- Their combined speed is 5 + 3 = 8 km/h, so they meet after 64 ÷ 8 = 8 hours.
- Imran has walked 3 × 8 = 24 km, so he is 32 − 24 = 8 km from B.
- Check: Jashim walked 5 × 8 = 40 km = 32 + 8.
Other options: (a) 6 — the walks would be 38 and 26 km, ratio 1.46, not 5 : 3; (c) 9 — 41 and 23 km, ratio 1.78; (d) 12 — 44 and 20 km, ratio 2.2.
Also know:
- In equal times, distances are in the ratio of speeds: here 40 : 24 = 5 : 3.
- General result: the meeting point is 2D × v₂/(v₁ + v₂) from A, here 64 × 3/8 = 24 km.
- Distance = rate × time (D = rt) applies to each walker separately.
