  • Question
  • A complete cycle of a traffic light takes 60 s. During each cycle the light is green for 25 s, yellow for 5 s and red for 30 s. At a randomly chosen time, the probability that the light will not be green is?


  • Options
  • A. 1/3
  • B. 1/4
  • C. 5/12
  • D. 7/12

  • Correct Answer
  • 7/12 

    Explanation

    Time taken for complete cycle = 60 s
    Probability that light will be green = (Time for which light is green)/(time taken for complete cycle)
    = 25/60 = 5/12
    ? Probability that light will not be green = 1- 5/12 = 7/12
