- If two coins are tossed, find the probability of the following events. (1) Getting at least one head. (2) Getting no head. Answer: (1) 3/4 (2) 1/4 S = HH, HT, TH, TT, n(S) = 4 (1) A = HH, HT, TH, n(A) = 3, so P(A) = 3/4 . (2) B = TT, n(B) = 1, so P(B) = 1/4 . 1
- If two dice are rolled simultaneously, find the probability: (1) sum of the digits on the upper faces is at least 10 (2) the sum is 33 (3) the digit on the first die is greater than the digit on second die. Answer: (1) 1/6 (2) 0 (3) 5/12 n(S) = 36. (1) Sum at least 10: A = (4,6), (5,5), (6,4), (5,6), (6,5), (6,6), n(A) = 6. P(A) = 6/36 = 1/6 (2)... 1
- There are 15 tickets in a box, each bearing one of the numbers from 1 to 15. One ticket is drawn at random from the box. Find the probability of event that the ticket drawn - (1) shows an even number. (2) shows a number which is a multiple of 5. Answer: (1) 7/15 (2) 1/5 n(S) = 15 (1) A = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, n(A) = 7, P(A) = 7/15 . (2) B = 5, 10, 15, n(B) = 3, P(B) = 3/15 = 1/5 . 1
- A two digit number is formed with digits 2, 3, 5, 7, 9 without repetition. What is the probability that the number formed is (1) an odd number? (2) a multiple of 5? Answer: (1) 4/5 (2) 1/5 Tens digit: 5 choices, units digit: 4 remaining choices, so n(S) = 5 × 4 = 20 . S = 23, 25, 27, 29, 32, 35, 37, 39,... 1
- A card is drawn at random from a pack of well shuffled 52 playing cards. Find the probability that the card drawn is - (1) an ace. (2) a spade. Answer: (1) 1/13 (2) 1/4 n(S) = 52 (1) There are 4 aces: P(A) = 4/52 = 1/13 . (2) There are 13 spades: P(B) = 13/52 = 1/4 . 1
- Choose the correct alternative answer: Which number cannot represent a probability? Answer: (B) 1.5 Probability always lies between 0 and 1 (0% to 100%). 1.5 is greater than 1, so it cannot be a probability; 2/3 , 15% and 0.... 1
- Choose the correct alternative answer: A die is rolled. What is the probability that the number appearing on upper face is less than 3? Answer: (B) 1/3 Favourable outcomes: 1, 2. P = 2/6 = 1/3 . 1
- Choose the correct alternative answer: What is the probability of the event that a number chosen from 1 to 100 is a prime number? Answer: (C) 1/4 There are 25 prime numbers from 1 to 100 (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79... 1
- Choose the correct alternative answer: There are 40 cards in a bag. Each bears a number from 1 to 40. One card is drawn at random. What is the probability that the card bears a number which is a multiple of 5? Answer: (A) 1/5 Multiples of 5 up to 40: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 (8 numbers). P = 8/40 = 1/5 . 1
- Choose the correct alternative answer: If n(A) = 2, P(A) = 1/5, then n(S) = ? Answer: (A) 10 P(A) = n(A)/n(S) ⇒ 1/5 = 2/n(S) ⇒ n(S) = 10 . 1
- Basketball players John, Vasim, Akash were practising the ball drop in the basket. The probabilities of success for John, Vasim and Akash are 4/5, 0.83 and 58% respectively. Who had the greatest probability of success? Answer: Vasim Write all probabilities as decimals: John: 4/5 = 0.80 Vasim: 0.83 Akash: 58% = 0.58 Since 0.83 > 0.80 > 0.58, Vasim had the gr... 1
- In a hockey team there are 6 defenders, 4 offenders and 1 goalee. Out of these, one player is to be selected randomly as a captain. Find the probability of the selection that - (1) The goalee will be selected. (2) A defender will be selected. Answer: (1) 1/11 (2) 6/11 n(S) = 6 + 4 + 1 = 11 (1) P(goalee) = 1/11 (2) P(defender) = 6/11 1
- Joseph kept 26 cards in a cap, bearing one English alphabet on each card. One card is drawn at random. What is the probability that the card drawn is a vowel card? Answer: 5/26 n(S) = 26. Vowels are a, e, i, o, u, so n(A) = 5. P(A) = 5/26 1
- If m times the mth term of an A.P. is eqaul to n times nth term then show that the (m + n)th term of the A.P. is zero. Answer: Proved, t_(m+n) = 0 m[a + (m - 1)d] = n[a + (n - 1)d] a(m - n) + d[(m² - n²) - (m - n)] = 0 (m - n)[a + (m + n - 1)d] = 0 For m ≠ n... 1
- Rs 1000 is invested at 10 percent simple interest. Check at the end of every year if the total interest amount is in A.P. If this is an A.P. then find interest amount after 20 years. For this complete the following activity. Answer: Yes, the interest amounts are in A.P.; interest after 20 years = ₹ 2000 After 1 year: 1000 × 10 × 1/100 = 100 . After 2 years: 200.... 1
- ‘Pawan Medical’ supplies medicines. On some medicines the rate of GST is 12%, then what is the rate of CGST and SGST ? Answer: CGST = 6% and SGST = 6% GST is shared equally between the Centre and the State, so each is half of 12%: CGST = 12/2 = 6% , SGST = 12... 1
- On certain article if rate of CGST is 9% then what is the rate of SGST? and what is the rate of GST? Answer: SGST = 9% and GST = 18% CGST and SGST are always equal, so SGST = 9%. GST = CGST + SGST = 9% + 9% = 18% 1
