- Question
The probabilities that drivers A, B and C will drive home safely after consuming liquor are 2 / 5, 3 / 7 and 3 / 4, respectively. What is the probability that they will drive home safely after consuming liquor ?
Options- A. 3/70
- B. 4/70
- C. 9/70
- D. 1/50
- Correct Answer
- 9/70
ExplanationLet A be the event of driver A drive safely after consuming liquor.
Let B be the event of driver B drive safely after consuming liquor.
Let C be the event of driver C drive safely after consuming liquor.
P(A)=2/5,P(B)=3/7,P(C)=3/4
The events A, B and C are independent . Therefore,
Therefore, The probability that all the drivers will drive home safely after consuming liquor is 9/70

Correct Answer: 1/5
Correct Answer: p/(p+q)
Explanation:
Total number of cases=p+q
Favourable cases=p
Probability of that event is=p/(p+q)
Correct Answer: 4/7
Explanation:
Let number of balls = (6 + 8) = 14.
Number of white balls = 8.
P (drawing a white ball) = 8 /14=4/7.
Correct Answer: 55/221
Explanation:
n(S) = = 1326
Let A = event of getting both red cards
and B = event of getting both queens
then = event of getting two red queens
n(A) = = 325, n(B) = = 6
P ( both red or both queens) =
= =
Correct Answer: 2/3
Explanation:
S = { 1, 2, 3, 4, .....18 }
=> n(S) = 18
E1 = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18}
=> n(E1) = 9
E2 = {3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 }
=> n(E2) = 6
=> n(E3) = 3
=> n(E) = 9 + 6 - 3 =12
where E = { 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18 }
Correct Answer: 4/13
Correct Answer: [1, 1/2]
Explanation:
Probability of atleast one failure
= 1 - no failure > 31/32
= 1 -
> 31/32
=
1/32
= p < 1/2
Also p > 0
Hence p lies in [0,1/2].
Correct Answer: 0
Explanation:
As we know we have 10 letter and 10 different address and one more information given that exactly 9 letter will at the correct address....so the remaining one letter automatically reach to their correct address
P(E) = favorable outcomes /total outcomes
Here favorable outcomes are '0'.
So probability is '0'.
Correct Answer: 1/26
Explanation:
Here, n(S) = 52.
Let E = event of getting a queen of club or a king of heart.
Then, n(E) = 2.
P(E) =n(E)/n(S)=2/52=1/26.
Correct Answer: 1/2
Explanation:
Total numbers in a die=6
P(mutliple of 3) = 2/6 = 1/3
P(multiple of 4) = 1/6
P(multiple of 3 or 4) = 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2
