 SOLUTIONS

Question No: 1
(b)
Probability of getting 2 heads in the first 5 trials is

Therefore, the probability that third head appears on the sixth trial is
Question No: 2
(c)
Let the probability that a man aged dies in a year . Thus the probability that a man aged does
not die in a year . The probability that all men aged do not die in a year is .
Therefore, the probability that at least one man dies in a year is . The probability that
out of men, dies first is . Since this event is independent of the event that at least one man
dies in a year, hence, the probability that dies in the year and he is first one to die is

Question No: 3
(b)
Let be the event of getting 1 on a die

(first time 1 occurs at the even throw)

and so on.

Question No: 4
(b)
The total number of ways in which four-figure numbers can be formed is . A number is
divisible by 5 if at unit’s place we have 5. Therefore, unit’s place can be filled in one way and the
remaining 3 places can be filled with the other digits in ways. Hence, total number of numbers
divisible by 5 is . So, the required probability is 6/24=1/4
Question No: 5
(b)
Let us consider the following events
card shows up black
card with both sides black
card with both sides white
card with one side white and one black
 ,

Question No: 6
(a)
(Exhaustive)

Question No: 7
(a)
The probability of getting a head in a single toss of a coin is (say). The probability of getting
5 or 6 in a single throw of a die is (say). Therefore, the required probability is

Question No: 8
(d)
In the first case, the urn constains 3 red and white balls. The probability that colour of both the
balls matches is

or 6 (1)
In the second case,

Solving, we get

or 1 (2)
From Eqs.(1) and (2), we have
Question No: 9
(1)
There are white balls in the turn
Probability of Mr. A to draw two balls of same colour is
(given)
 or 6 (1)
Also required probability for Mr. according to the question is
(given)
Solving, we get or 9 (2)
From (1) and (2),
Question No: 10
(4)
Let the number of green socks be
Two socks drawn are of the same color

Question No: 11
(6)
Total number of cases
Product is prime only when two outcomes are 1 and the third is prime i.e., 2, 3, 5
If it is 2, 1, 1, then the number of cases is 3
Similarly, 3 cases for 3, 1, 1 and 5, 1, 1 each
Hence, favourable cases =9
Hence, required probability

Question No: 12
(2)
Total number of cases
Now sum the given digits is 1+2+3+4+5+6=21, which is divisible by 3
Now we have to form the number which is divisible by 6, then we have to ensure that the digit in
unit place is even
Favourable cases
Hence,

Question No: 13
(5)
The number of ways of drawing 7 balls (second draws)
For each set of 7 balls of the second draw, 3 must be common to the set of 5 balls of the first draw,
i.e., 2 other balls can be drawn in ways
Thus, for each set of 7 balls of the second draw, there are ways of making the first draw
so that there are 3 balls common
Hence, the probability of having three balls in common is

Question No: 14
(b)
Let be the probability that exactly students are passing an examination. Now given that
(where is constant)

Now,
Let represent the event that selected students have passes the examination

Now,

Question No: 15
(d)
1. When no box remain empty, then

When each box contains equal number of balls, then

Therefore, the required probability is 90/540=1/6

2. The required probability is

3. Let be the event that is throwing sum of 9 and be the event that throws a number
greater than that thrown by . We have to find (as and are
independent). The probability that is throwing dice so that sum is higher than 9 is

4.
Question No: 16
(a,b,c)
We know that,
[Option ( c )]

or
is not less than [Option (a)]
Also,

is not greater than [Option (b)]

Question No: 17
(b)
Given that
(India wins)
(India loses)
Out of 5 matches. India’s second is win occurs at third test. Hence, India wins third test and
simultaneously it has won one match from first two and lost the other. Therefore, the required
probability is

Question No: 18
(a,c,d)
Since and are independent events, therefore,

Now,

Now,
