  • Question 1
    1 / -0

    Two cards from a pack of 52 cards are lost. One card is drawn from the remaining cards. If the drawn card is diamond then the probability that the lost cards were both hearts is:

    Solution

    Given,

    Total number of cards = 52

    Two cards are lost.

    So remaining cards = 50

    Now one card is drawn.

    The probability that it is a diamond card = \(\frac{13}{50}\)

    Now probability that both lost cards are heart = \(\frac{13}{50}\times(\frac{{ }^{11} C _{2}}{{ }^{49} C _{2}})\)

    \(=\frac{13}{50}×\frac{(\frac{11×10}{2})}{(\frac{49×48}{2})}\)

    \(=\frac{13×11}{{5×49×48}}\)

    \(=\frac{143}{{11760}}\)

    So the probability that both lost cards are heart is \(\frac{143}{{11760}}\).

  • Question 2
    1 / -0

    If four whole numbers taken at random are multiplied together, then the chance that the last digit in the product is 1, 3, 5, 7 is:

    Solution

    The last digit of the four whole numbers can be:

    0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

    The chance that any of the four numbers is divisible by 2 or 5 = \(\frac{6}{10}\) = \(\frac{3}{5}\)

    Therefore,

    The chance that any of the four numbers is not divisible by 2 or 5 = \(1 – \frac{3}{5}\)

    = \(\frac{2}{5}\)

    So, the chance that all of the four numbers are divisible by 2 or 5 = \((\frac{2}{5})×(\frac{2}{5})×(\frac{2}{5})×(\frac{2}{5})\)

    = \(\frac{16}{625}\)

    This is the chance that the last digit in the product will not be 0, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8 and this is also the chance that the last digit in the product is 1, 3, 7, or 9.

  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    Three identical dice are rolled. The probability that the same number will appear on each of them is:

    Solution

    Total number of cases = 6³

    = 216

    The same number can appear on each of the dice in the following ways:

    (1, 1, 1), (2, 2, 2),(3, 3, 3),(4, 4, 4),(5, 5, 5),(6, 6, 6)

    So, favorable number of cases = 6

    \(\therefore\) Required probability = \(\frac{6}{216}\)

    = \(\frac{1}{36}\)

  • Question 4
    1 / -0

    There are four machines and it is known that exactly two of them are faulty. They are tested, one by one, in a random order till both the faulty machines are identified. Then the probability that only two tests are needed is:

    Solution

    Only two tests are required when the two machines tested are either both working or both are not working.

    When both are working:

    Probability is = \(\frac{2}{4} \times \frac{1}{3}\)

    = \(\frac{1}{6}\)

    Both are not working.

    Probability is = \(\frac{2}{4} \times \frac{1}{3}\)

    = \(\frac{1}{6}\)

    Therefore,

    Total probability = \(\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{6}\)

    = \(\frac{1}{3}\)

  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    Two unbiased dice are thrown. The probability that neither a doubled or a total of 10 will appear is:

    Solution

    When two dice are throw, then total outcome = 36

    A doubled: {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5), (6, 6)}

    Favourable outcome = 6

    Sum is 10: {(4, 6), (5, 5), (6, 4)}

    Favourable outcome = 3

    Again, A doubled and sum is 10: (5, 5)

    Favourable outcome = 1

    Now, P(either doubled or a sum of 10 appears) = P(A doubled appear) + P(sum is 10) – P(A doubled appear and sum is 10)

    ⇒ P(either doubled or a sum of 10 appears) = \(\frac{6}{36} + \frac{3}{36} – \frac{1}{36}\)

    = \(\frac{6 + 3 – 1}{36}\)

    = \(\frac{8}{36}\)

    = \(\frac{2}{9}\)

    So, P(neither doubled nor a sum of 10 appears) = 1 – \(\frac{2}{9}\)

    = \(\frac{7}{9}\)

  • Question 6
    1 / -0

    Two dice are thrown the events A, B, C are as follows:

    A: Getting an odd number on the first die.

    B: Getting a total of 7 on the two dice.

    C: Getting a total of greater than or equal to 8 on the two dice.

    Then AUB is equal to:

    Solution

    When two dice are thrown, then total outcome = 6 × 6 = 36

    A: Getting an odd number on the first die.

    A = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4),(1, 5), (1, 6), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4),(3, 5), (3, 6), (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4),(5, 5), (5, 6)}

    Total outcome = 18

    B: Getting a total of 7 on the two dice.

    B = {(1, 6), (2, 5), (3, 4), (4, 3), (5, 2), (6, 1)}

    Total outcome = 6

    C: Getting a total of greater than or equal to 8 on the two dice.

    C = {(2, 6), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 4),(4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6),(6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}

    Total outcome = 15

    Now n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∩ B)

    n(A ∪ B) = 18 + 6 – 3

    \(\Rightarrow\)n(A ∪ B) = 21

    \(\therefore\) n(A ∪ B) is 21.

  • Question 7
    1 / -0

    Two numbers are chosen from {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} one after another without replacement. Find the probability that the smaller of the two is less than 4.

    Solution

    Given,

    Number ={1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

    Total number of ways of choosing two numbers out of six \(={ }^{6} \mathrm{C}_{2}=\frac{(6 \times 5)}{ 2}\)

    \(=3 \times 5=15\)

    If smaller number is chosen as 3 then greater has choice are \(4,5,6\)

    So, total choices \(=3\)

    If smaller number is chosen as 2 then greater has choice are \(3,4,5,6\)

    So, total choices \(=4\)

    If smaller number is chosen as 1 then greater has choice are \(2,3,4,5,6\)

    So, total choices \(=5\)

    Total favourable case \(=3+4+5=12\)

    Now, required probability \(=\frac{12}{15}\)

    \(=\frac{4}{5}\)

  • Question 8
    1 / -0

    The probability that when a hand of 7 cards is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards, it contains 3 Kings is:

    Solution

    Given,

    Total number of cards \(=52\)

    Number of king card \(=4\)

    Now, 7 cards are drawn from 52 cards.

    \(P(3 \text { cards are king })=\frac{{ }^{4} C_{3} \times{ }^{48} \mathrm{C}_{4}}{{ }^{52} \mathrm{C}_{7} }\)

    \(=\frac{4 \times\frac{(48 \times 47 \times 46 \times 45)}{(4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1)\ }}{\frac{(52 \times 51 \times 50 \times 49 \times 48 \times 47 \times 46)}{(7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1)} }\)

    \(=\frac{4 \times(48 \times 47 \times 46 \times 45) \times(7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1)}{(4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1) \times(52 \times 51 \times 50 \times 49 \times 48 \times 47 \times 46)}\)

    \(=\frac{(7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 45)}{(52 \times 51 \times 50 \times 49)}\)

    \(=\frac{(6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 45)}{(52 \times 51 \times 50 \times 7)}\)

    \(=(\frac{(6 \times 4 \times 45)}{(7 \times 52 \times 51 \times 10)}\)

    \(=\frac{(6 \times 45)}{(7 \times 13 \times 51 \times 10)}\)

    \(=\frac{(6 \times 3)}{(7 \times 13 \times 17 \times 2) }\)

    \(=\frac{(3 \times 3) }{(7 \times 13 \times 17) }\)

    \(=\frac{9}{1547}\)

  • Question 9
    1 / -0

    The probability that in a random arrangement of the letters of the word INSTITUTION the three T are together is:

    Solution

    Given,

    Word is "INSTITUTION"

    Total letters \(=11\)

    The word contains \(3I,2 N, 1 S, 3 T, 1 U\) and 1O.

    Total number of arrangement \(=\frac{11 !}{(3 ! \times 2 ! \times 3 !)}\)

    \(=554400\)

    Now, taken \(3 \mathrm{~T}\) are together.

    So total letter \(=9\)

    The number of favorable cases \(=\frac{9 !}{(3 ! \times 2 !)}\)

    \(=30240\)

    Now, \(P(3\) T are together \()=\frac{30240}{554400}=0.0545\)

  • Question 10
    1 / -0

    Three houses are available in a locality. Three persons apply for the houses. Each applies to one house without consulting others. The probability that all the three apply for the same house is:

    Solution

    One person can select one house out of 3 = 3C1

    = 3

    So, three persons can select one house out of three = 3 × 3 × 3 = 27

    Thus, the probability that all the three can apply for the same house = \(\frac{3}{27}\)

    = \(\frac{1}{9}\)
