Q:

A bag contains 4 white, 5 red and 6 blue balls. Three balls are drawn at random from the bag. The probability that all of them are red, is:

A) 2/91	B) 1/22
C) 3/22	D) 2/77

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 2/91

Explanation:

Let S be the sample space.

Then, n(S) = number of ways of drawing 3 balls out of 15 = $15 C_{3}$ = $\frac{15 * 14 * 13}{3 * 2 * 1}$ = 455.

Let E = event of getting all the 3 red balls.

n(E) = $5 C_{3}$ = $\frac{5 * 4}{2 * 1}$ = 10.

=> P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 10/455 = 2/91.

Q:

Two cards are drawn together from a pack of 52 cards. The probability that one is a spade and one is a heart, is:

A) 3/20	B) 29/34
C) 47/100	D) 13/102

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 13/102

Explanation:

Let S be the sample space.

Then, n(S) = $52 C_{2}$ =(52 x 51)/(2 x 1) = 1326.

Let E = event of getting 1 spade and 1 heart.

n(E)= number of ways of choosing 1 spade out of 13 and 1 heart out of 13 = $13 C_{1} * 13 C_{1}$ = 169.

P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 169/1326 = 13/102.

Q:

A runs $1 \frac{2}{3}$ times as fast as B. If A gives B a start of 80 m, how far must the winning post be so that A and B might reach it at the same time?

A) 200 m	B) 300m
C) 270m	D) 160m

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 200 m

Explanation:

Ratio of the speeds of A and B =5 : 1 = 5 :3

Thus, in race of 5 m, A gains 2 m over B.

2 m are gained by A in a race of 5 m.

80 m will be gained by A in race of $(\frac{5}{2} * 80)$ m =200m

=> Winning post is 200 m away from the starting point.

Q:

A card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards. The probability of getting a queen of club or a

king of heart is:

A) 2/13	B) 1/13
C) 1/26	D) 1/52

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1/26

Explanation:

Here, n(S) = 52.

Let E = event of getting a queen of club or a king of heart.

Then, n(E) = 2.

P(E) =n(E)/n(S)=2/52=1/26.
