A die is rolled twice. What is the probability of getting a sum equal to 9?
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Total number of outcomes possible when a die is rolled = 6 (∵ any one face out of the 6 faces)
  • Hence, total number of outcomes possible when a die is rolled twice, n(S) = 6 x 6 = 36
E = Getting a sum of 9 when the two dice fall = {(3,6), (4,5), (5,4), (6,3)}
  • Hence, n(E) = 4

A bag contains 2 yellow, 3 green and 2 blue balls. Two balls are drawn at random. What is the probability that none of the balls drawn is blue?
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Total number of balls = 2 + 3 + 2 = 7
► Let S be the sample space.
  • n(S) = Total number of ways of drawing 2 balls out of 7 = 7C2
► Let E = Event of drawing 2 balls, none of them is blue.
  • n(E) = Number of ways of drawing 2 balls from the total 5 (= 7-2) balls = 5C2
    (∵ There are two blue balls in the total 7 balls. Total number of non-blue balls = 7 - 2 = 5)

A bag contains 4 black, 5 yellow and 6 green balls. Three balls are drawn at random from the bag. What is the probability that all of them are yellow?

  • A:

  • B:

  • C:

  • D:

The answer is A.

Divey Sethi answered
Total number of balls = 4 + 5 + 6 = 15
Let S be the sample space.
  • n(S) = Total number of ways of drawing 3 balls out of 15 = 15C3
Let E = Event of drawing 3 balls, all of them are yellow.
  • n(E) = Number of ways of drawing 3 balls from the total 5 = 5C3
    (∵ there are 5 yellow balls in the total balls)

[∵ nCr = nC(n-r). So 5C3 = 5C2. Applying this for the ease of calculation]

  • d)
    Saturday                          
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Anaya Patel answered
Tennis is to be shown on friday only. This implies that we can not show football a day after i.e. on Saturday as swimming is to be shown before football.
Moreover as it is given that we can not show a football a day before friday i.e. Thursday. Thus we can not even place it on wednesday as if we will do so then we will not be able to place kho-kho and cricket together as no consecutive days will be left with us.
Also football can not be shown on the first day i.e. Monday because swimming is to be shown before football.
Therefore to maintain a proper order we can place football only on Tuesday.

The best relation between Travelers, Train, and Bus can be represented in a Venn diagram, where Travelers are represented as a larger circle containing both Train and Bus circles. This is because travelers can choose either train or bus as their mode of transportation, and some may use both. Here's the explanation:
Travelers
- Travelers are people who move from one place to another for various reasons, such as work, leisure, or other purposes.
Train
- A train is a mode of transportation that runs on a railway track and can carry passengers or goods.
- Some travelers may choose to travel by train due to various factors such as cost, comfort, or availability.
Bus
- A bus is a mode of transportation that runs on roads and can carry passengers.
- Some travelers may choose to travel by bus due to factors such as cost, convenience, or accessibility.
Venn Diagram: Option C
- In option C, we have a large circle representing Travelers, which includes two smaller circles representing Train and Bus.
- This diagram shows that there are travelers who use trains, travelers who use buses, and some travelers who may use both modes of transportation.
- This representation captures the relationship between travelers and their choice of transportation, whether it's by train, bus, or both.

Dodos may not consistently exhibit weakness, but they consistently possess zipzap qualities. While not all creatures with zipzap traits are weak, they will inevitably acquire boing characteristics.
Which statement does not follow?
  • a)
    Dodos encompass all creatures with zipzap characteristics.
  • b)
    A dodo displaying weakness is considered a zipzap.
  • c)
    An animal lacking strength cannot be classified as a boing.
  • d)
    Certain boings belong to the dodo category.
  • e)
    The number of weak creatures with zipzap traits exceeds that of boings.
Correct answer is option 'C,E'. Can you explain this answer?

A: Yes. The statement establishes that dodos possess zipzap qualities, and it claims that all creatures with zipzap characteristics are dodos. Therefore, it follows that dodos encompass all creatures with zipzap characteristics.
B: Yes. The statement states that a dodo displaying weakness is considered a zipzap. It does not provide any contradictory information, so the conclusion follows.
C: No. The statement does not provide any information about the classification of animals lacking strength as boings. It only mentions that creatures with zipzap traits will acquire boing characteristics, but it does not state that the absence of strength is a requirement for classification as a boing. Therefore, the conclusion does not follow.
D: Yes. The statement mentions that certain boings belong to the dodo category. It implies that there is an overlap between the category of boings and the category of dodos, so the conclusion follows.
E: No. The statement does not provide any information about the relative numbers of weak creatures with zipzap traits and boings. It only mentions that creatures with zipzap traits will acquire boing characteristics, but it does not make any claims about the comparative quantities of weak creatures with zipzap traits and boings. Therefore, the conclusion does not follow.
