Correct Answer:10 21
Explanation:
Total number of balls = (2 + 3 + 2) = 7.Let S be the sample space.
Then, n(S) = Number of ways of drawing 2 balls out of 7 = 7C2 ` = (7 x 6) (2 x 1) = 21. Let E = Event of drawing 2 balls, none of which is blue.
∴ n(E) = Number of ways of drawing 2 balls out of (2 + 3) balls. = 5C2 = (5 x 4) (2 x 1) = 10. ∴ P(E) = n(E) = 10 . n(S) 21 - 3. Three unbiased coins are tossed. What is the probability of getting at most two heads?
Options- A. 3/4
- B. 1/4
- C. 3/8
- D. 7/8 Discuss
Correct Answer: 7/8
Explanation:
Here S = {TTT, TTH, THT, HTT, THH, HTH, HHT, HHH}Let E = event of getting at most two heads.
Then E = {TTT, TTH, THT, HTT, THH, HTH, HHT}.
∴ P(E) = n(E) = 7 . n(S) 8 - 4. In a box, there are 8 red, 7 blue and 6 green balls. One ball is picked up randomly. What is the probability that it is neither red nor green?

Correct Answer:1 3
Explanation:
Total number of balls = (8 + 7 + 6) = 21.Let E = event that the ball drawn is neither red nor green = event that the ball drawn is blue. ∴ n(E) = 7.
∴ P(E) = n(E) = 7 = 1 . n(S) 21 3 - 5. A bag contains 6 black and 8 white balls. One ball is drawn at random. What is the probability that the ball drawn is white?

Correct Answer:4 7
Explanation:
Let number of balls = (6 + 8) = 14.Number of white balls = 8.
P (drawing a white ball) = 8 = 4 . 14 7 - 6. The banker's discount on Rs. 1600 at 15% per annum is the same as true discount on Rs. 1680 for the same time and at the same rate. The time is:
Options- A. 3 months
- B. 4 months
- C. 6 months
- D. 8 months Discuss
Correct Answer: 4 months
Explanation:
S.I. on Rs. 1600 = T.D. on Rs. 1680.∴ Rs. 1600 is the P.W. of Rs. 1680, i.e., Rs. 80 is on Rs. 1600 at 15%.
∴ Time = ❨ 100 x 80 ❩year = 1 year = 4 months. 1600 x 15 3 - 7. The banker's discount on a bill due 4 months hence at 15% is Rs. 420. The true discount is:
