Correct Answer: 8

Correct Answer: 70 hours

Correct Answer: 2 hrs

Correct Answer: 10

Correct Answer: 8 hours

Explanation:

Then 3/5 th tank fill in =40/3 * 3/5= 8 hours

Correct Answer: 3/4

Explanation:

Let A, B, C be the respective events of solving the problem and  A , B , C be the respective events of not solving the problem. Then A, B, C are independent event

? A , B , C are independent events

Now,  P(A) = 1/2 , P(B) = 1/3 and P(C)=1/4

  P A = 1 2 , P B = 2 3 , P C = 3 4

? P( none  solves the problem) = P(not A) and (not B) and (not C)  

                  =  P A ? B ? C 

                  =  P A P B P C          ? A , B , C a r e I n d e p e n d e n t                       

                  =   1 2 × 2 3 × 3 4  

                  =  1 4  

Hence, P(the problem will be solved) = 1 - P(none solves the problem) 

                =  1 - 1 4= 3/4

Correct Answer: 55/221

Explanation:

We have n(s) = 52 C 2 52 = 52*51/2*1= 1326. 

Let A = event of getting both black cards 

     B = event of getting both queens 

A?B = event of getting queen of black cards 

n(A) = 52 * 51 2 * 1 =  26 C 2 = 325, n(B)= 26 * 25 2 * 1= 4*3/2*1= 6  and  n(A?B) =  4 C 2 = 1 

P(A) = n(A)/n(S) = 325/1326;

P(B) = n(B)/n(S) = 6/1326 and 

P(A?B) = n(A?B)/n(S) = 1/1326 

P(A?B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A?B) = (325+6-1) / 1326 = 330/1326 = 55/221

Correct Answer: 2/7

Correct Answer: 2/7

Explanation:

Total number of outcomes possible, n(S) = 10 + 25 = 35

 

Total number of prizes, n(E) = 10

  P ( E ) = n ( E ) n ( S ) = 10 35 = 2 7

Correct Answer: 9/20

Explanation:

Here, S = {1, 2, 3, 4, ...., 19, 20}.

Let E = event of getting a multiple of 3 or 5 = {3, 6 , 9, 12, 15, 18, 5, 10, 20}.

P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 9/20.
