Solution:

P =3C3/13C3 + 4C3/13C3
= 1/286 + 4/286 = 5/286

QUESTION: 3

From a pack of 52 cards 3 cards are drawn one by one without replacements.Find the probability that both of them are king ?

Solution:

4/52*3/51*2/50 = 24/132600 = 4/22100 = 1/5525

QUESTION: 4

If two dice are thrown simultaneously, what is the probability that the sum of the numbers appeared is less than seven?
Solution:

Sum of the numbers can be 1,2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
1+2= 3

1+4 = 5
1+5 = 6
2+3 = 5
3+2 = 5
2+4 = 6
4+2 = 6……..etc
n (E) = 15, n (S) = 36
P (E) =15/36 = 5/12

QUESTION: 5

A box contains 5 white, 4 green, 2 blue and 3 black marbles. If 2 marbles are drawn at random, what is the probability that both are green or at least one is green ?
Solution:

4C2+(4C1*10C1)/12C2 = 6+40/91 = 46/91

QUESTION: 6

In a shelf, there are 7 Banking awareness, 6 English and 5 GK books. One book is picked up randomly. What is the probability that it is neither in Banking awareness nor in GK ?

P = 4C1*8C3/12C4 = 4*56/495 = 224/495

QUESTION: 8

A bag contains 4 white, 8 black and 6 blue balls. If two balls are drawn at random, find the probability of both the balls being black?
Solution:

n(S) = 18C2 = 153
There are eight black balls, out of which two balls are drawn in 8C2 ways.
n(E) = 28
P(E) = 28 /153 = 28/153

QUESTION: 9

The ratio of the number of girls to the number of boys is the 5 : 2 in a class of 21 students. A group of three students is to to be selected at random amongst them. What is the probability that the selected group of students contain one boy and two girls?
Solution:

5:2 = 15+6 = 21
n(S) = 21C3 = 1330
n(E) = 15C1 × 6C2 = 15 × 15 = 225
P = 225/1330 = 45/266

QUESTION: 10

From a pack of 52 cads, 2 cards are drawn at random. What is the probability of drawing such that there is at least 1 king?
Solution:

Case 1: 1 is king
4C1 * 48C1 / 52C2 
Case 2: both are king
4C2 / 52C2 
Add both cases.

QUESTION: 12

A box contains 6 blue, 5 green and 4 red balls. If two balls are pick at random, then what is the probability that neither is blue?
Solution:

Total balls = 15
Not blue means green or red i.e. any of (5+4) = 9 balls
So prob. = 9C2 / 15C2

QUESTION: 13

A box contains 5 blue and 5 white balls. What is the probability of drawing 2 balls such that both are same in color?
Solution:

Case 1: Both blue
5C2 / 10C2

5C2 / 10C2 
Add both cases

QUESTION: 15

In a class 30% of the students opt for Math, 20% opt for Computers and 10% opt for both. A student is selected at random, find the probability that he has opted either Math or Computers.
Solution:

Prob. of math = 30/100 = 3/10, Prob. of computers = 20/100 = 1/5, prob. for both = 10/100 = 1/10
So required prob. = 3/5 + 1/5 – 1/10

QUESTION: 16

From a pack of 52 cards, 2 cards are drawn at random. What is the probability that either both are red or both are kings?
Solution:

Prob. of both red = 26C2 / 52C2
Prob. of both kings = 4C2 / 52C2 
Since there are also cads which are both red and king, so we will subtract there prob.
There are 2 red cards which are kings
Prob. of both red and king = 2C2 / 52C2
So required prob. = 26C2 / 52C2 + 4C2 / 52C2 – 2C2 / 52C2
