Probability - MCQ 2 - Question 2

P and Q are sitting in a ring with 11 other persons. If the arrangement of 11 persons is at random, then the probability that there are exactly 4 persons between them?

Favourable outcomes = 6!*4! (4 person seated together and 6 other persons seated randomly, so they will sit in (7-1)! Ways and those 4 persons can be arranged in 4! ways)
So probability = 1/21

Probability - MCQ 2 - Question 4

A box contains 4 red, 5 black and 6 green balls. 3 balls are drawn at random. What is the probability that all the balls are of same colour?

Detailed Solution for Probability - MCQ 2 - Question 4

Probability - MCQ 2 - Question 6

A speaks truth in 60% of the cases and B in 80% of the cases. In what  percentage of cases are they likely to contradict each other, narrating the same incident?

Detailed Solution for Probability - MCQ 2 - Question 6

Let  A = Event that A speaks the truth

and B= Event  that B speaks the truth. 

                

Then,  P ( A)  = 60/ 100 = ⅗ 

            P ( B)  = 80/ 100 =  ⅘ 

             _    

:-     P  ( A) =  ( 1- ⅗  )  = 2 / 5 

             _         

        P ( B )  = (1 - 4 /5 ) =  1 / 5

        P ( A and B  contradict each other) 

      = P [ ( A speaks truth and B tells a lie) or 

              ( A tells the lie and B speaks the truth) ]

                              _         _

       =  P [ ( A and B)  or (  A  and  B)]

                            _              _

         = P ( A and B)  +    P ( A  and B) 

                               _                _

         =  P (A) *  P ( B)  +     P ( A) *  P ( B) 

 

          =  (  3 / 5 * 1 / 5 ) +      ( 2 / 5 * 4 / 5 ) 

           =  3 / 25 + 8 / 25 

           =  11 / 25 

            = [ 11/ 25 * 100 ] % 

             

             =  44%
