2. i) Given that, if spinner on an even number, the player is allowed to pick a marble from the
bag.
Since there are 6 numbers, in total,
So, total number of possible outcomes = 6
Also, the number of favourable outcomes = 5
P(E)=
5
P(to pick a marble from the bag) =
6
ii) Since it is given that, there are 20 balls,
and the number of black balls = 6


P(E)=
6
P(getting a prize) =
20
3
=
10
3. Given that, the number of white balls = 15
Let the number of black balls = x
Total number of outcomes = 15 + x
P(E)=
15
We have, P(a white ball) =
15 + x
x
P (a black ball) =
15 + x
According to the condition,
P(a black ball) = 3 P(a white ball)
x 15
= 3×
15 + x 15 + x
x = 45
∴ The number of black balls = 45.
4. Given that, the numbers from 1 to 100 are written, so, the total number of outcomes = 100

P(E)=
i) The numbers from 1 to 100 which are divisible by 9 and is a perfect square are 9, 36, 81
3
P(divisible by 8 and is a perfect square) =
100
ii) The prime numbers from 1to 100 which are greater than 80 are 83, 89, 97
3
P( aprime number greater than 80) =
100

5. Given that, numbers from 1 to 15 are written,
So, total number of outcomes = 15
P(E)=
i) Even numbers from 1 to 15 are, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14.
7
P (an even number) =
15
ii) Numbers from 1 to 15 which are divisible by 2 are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14
Numbers from 1 to 15 which are divisible by 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15
Commonly divisible by 2 and 3 are 6 and 12

6. Given that, numbers from 5 tob 50 are written, total number of outcomes = 46
P(E)=
i) The prime numbers from 5 to 50 which are less than 20 are 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19

i) The favourable outcomes in which the sum as 8 are (2, 6) (3, 5) (4, 4) (5, 3) (6, 2)
5
P(sim 8) =
36
ii) Since there is no ordered pair favourable to sum as 13, so, the number of favourable
outcomes = 0
0
P (sum 13) = =0
36
iii) Since all the 36 ordered pairs will satisfy the condition that sum of two numbers on the top
36
of dice is less than or equal to 12 so, the number of favourable outcomes =
36
=1
8. Given that, total number of marbles = 24
Let the number of green marbles = x
then the number of blue marbles = (24 – x)
2
Since it is given that, P(green marble) =
3
x 2
⇒ =
24 3

9 (9,1) (9,2) (9,3) (9, 4)
16 (16,1) (16, 2) (16,3) (16, 4)
From the above, the total number of possible outcomes = 16

The favourable outcomes in which xy > 16 are
(9, 2) (9, 3) (9, 4) (16, 2) (16, 3) (16, 4)
P(E)=

3. Given that, there are 1000 sealed envelopes in a box, so the total number of possible outcomes = 1000
<100 cash prize envelopes = 10
<50 cash prize envelopes = 100
<10 cash prize envelops = 200
no cash prize envelopes = 1000 – (10 + 100 + 200)
= 1000 – 310
= 690
So, number of favourable outcomes = 690
P(E)=
690
P (no cash prize) =
1000
69
=
100
4. Given that, there are 27 marbles in a box.
Let the number of red marbles = x
then the number of yellow marbles = (27 – x)
P(E)=
1
It is given that, P(a red marble) =
3
x 1
⇒ =
27 3
⇒ x=9
∴ The number of yellow marbles = 27 – x
= 27 – 9
= 18
If the number of red marbles is 18, then the number of yellow marbles = 9
(OR)
If the number of red marbles is 9,
then the number of yellow marbles = 18.
5. Given that, cards are numbered from 2 to 90,
So, the total number of possible outcomes = 89
P(E)=
i) Two - digit numbers from 2 to 90 are 10, 11, 12, ..........90
81
P(a two digit number) =
89
ii) Perfect square numbers from 2 to 90 are 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81
