Q:

A basket contains 10 apples and 20 oranges out of which 3 apples and 5 oranges are defective. If we choose two fruits at random, what is the probability that either both are oranges or both are non defective?

A) 136/345	B) 17/87
C) 316/435	D) 158/435

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 316/435

Explanation:

$n (s) = {}^{30}C_{2}$

Let A be the event of getting two oranges and

B be the event of getting two non-defective fruits.

and $(A \cap B)$ be the event of getting two non-defective oranges

$∴ P (A) = \frac{{}^{20}C_{2}}{{}^{30}C_{2}}, P (B) = \frac{{}^{22}C_{2}}{{}^{30}C_{2}} a n d P (A \cap B) = \frac{{}^{15}C_{2}}{{}^{30}C_{2}}$

$∴ P (A \cup B) = P (A) + P (B) - P (A \cap B)$

= $\frac{{}^{20}C_{2}}{{}^{30}C_{2}} + \frac{{}^{22}C_{2}}{{}^{30}C_{2}} - \frac{{}^{15}C_{2}}{{}^{30}C_{2}} = \frac{316}{435}$

C) 80	D) 291

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 80

Explanation:

The given number series is 3, 11, 80, 291, 803

$3 3 + 2^{3} = 3 + 8 = 11 11 + 4^{3} = 11 + 64 = 75 (not 80) 75 + 6^{3} = 75 + 216 = 291 291 + 8^{3} = 291 + 512 = 803$

90 72 56 42 36 20

A) 20	B) 36
C) 42	D) 56
