Q:

Four dice are thrown simultaneously. Find the probability that all of them show the same face.

A) 1/216 B) 1/36
C) 2/216 D) 4/216
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1/216

Explanation:

The total number of elementary events associated to the random experiments of throwing four dice simultaneously is:

 

= 6*6*6*6=64

 

n(S) = 64

 

Let X be the event that all dice show the same face. 

 

X = { (1,1,1,1,), (2,2,2,2), (3,3,3,3), (4,4,4,4), (5,5,5,5), (6,6,6,6)}

 

n(X) = 6

 

Hence required probability = n(X)n(S)=664 =1216

Q:

The altitude drawn to the base of an isosceles triangle is 8cm and the perimeter is 32cm. Find the area of the triangle?

A) 50 B) 60
C) 70 D) 80
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 60

Explanation:

let ABC be the isosceles triangle, the AD be the altitude 

Let AB = AC = x then BC= 32-2x       [because parameter = 2 (side) + Base] 

since in an isoceles triange the altitude bisects the base so 

BD = DC = 16-x 

In a triangle ADC, AC2=AD2+DC2 

x2=82+16-x2 ⇒x=10 

BC = 32-2x = 32-20 = 12 cm 

Hence, required area = 12*BC*AD= 12*12*10 = 60 sq cm
