Answers:
1) Answer: D
Given, A be the event that Harish is selected and
B is the event that Kalyan is selected.
P(A)= 2/5
P(B)=3/7
Let C be the event that both are selected.
P(C)=P(A)×P(B) as A and B are independent events:
P(C) = 2/5*3/7
P(C) =6/35
The probability that both of them are selected is 6/35
2) Answer: D
Since the year of birth is Unknown, the birthday being on Monday can have a zero probability.
Also since between 26th and 30th, there are three days
i.e. 27th, 28th and 29th
We have following possibilities on these three dates,
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Saturday, Sunday, Monday
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday
Out of these 7 events, we have 3 chances of his birthday falling on Monday
Probability = favourable events/ total events
Probability = 3/7
Therefore, the probability of birthday falling on Monday can be 3/7.
3) Answer: B
We know that,
Probability=Favorable Cases/Total Cases
The probability that the number is a multiple of 4 is 10/40
Since favorable cases here {4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32,36,40}
=10 cases
Total cases= 40 cases
Similarly the probability that the number is a multiple of 14 is 2/40.
Since favorable cases here {14,28}
=2 cases
Total cases= 40cases
Multiple of 4 or 14 have common multiple from 1 to 40 is 28.
Hence, these events are mutually exclusive events.
Therefore chance that the selected number is a multiple of4 or 14 is:
=(10+2-1)/40
=11/40
4) Answer: B
It is given that last two digits are randomly dialed.
Then each of the digits can be selected out of 10 digits in 10 ways.
Hence required probability
=(1/10)2
=1/100
5) Answer: B
The military man will strike the target even if he strike it once or twice or all three times in the three bullets that he takes.
So, the only case where the man will not strike the target is when he fails to strike the target even in one of the three bullets that he takes.
The probability that he will not strike the target in one bullets =1 – Probability that he will strike target in exact one bullets
=1-1/3
=2/3
Therefore, the probability that he will not strike the target in all the three bullets
=2/3*2/3*2/3
=8/27
Hence, the probability that he will strike the target at least in one of the four bullets:
=(1-8/27)
=19/27
6) Answer: B
Daniel and Sherin will contradict each other when one speaks truth and other speaks lies.
Probability of Daniel speak truth and Sherin lies
=2/5*3/7
=6/35
Probability of Sherin speak truth and Daniel lies
=4/7*3/5
=12/35
The two probabilities are mutually exclusive.
Hence, probabilities that Daniel and Sherin contradict each other:
=6/35 +12/35
=18/35
=18/35*100
=51.4%
7) Answer: A
Probability of a bullet not striking the target = ¼
Probability that none of the 5 bullets will strike the target
=(1/4)5
=1/256
Probability that the target will strike at least once:
=1-1/256
=255/256
8) Answer: D
Total number of ways in which both of them can select a number each:
=8*8
=64
Total number of ways in which both of them can select a same number so that they both can win:
=8ways
[They both can select {(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(4,4),(5,5),(6,6),(7,7),(8,8)}]Probability that they win the prize:
=Favourable Cases / Total Cases
=8/64
=1/8
Probability that they do not win a prize:
=1-1/8
=7/8
9) Answer: A
According to the question,
P(X’)/P(X)=7/4
P(X’)=7/11
P(X)=4/11
P(Y’)/P(Y)=5/3
P(Y’)=5/8,P(Y)=3/8
Now, out of X,Y and Z, one and only one can happen.
P(X)+P(Y)+P(Z)=1
4/11+3/8+P(Z)=1
P(Z)=1-4/11-3/8
=88-32-33/88
=23/88
P(Z’)=1-P(Z)
=1-23/88
=65/88
So odd against z
P(z’)/p(z)=65/23
10) Answer: B
Total number of possible arrangements for Six male and five female stand in queue =11!
When they occupy alternate position the arrangement would be like:
MFMFMFMFMFM
Thus, total number of possible arrangements for males,
= 6*5*4*3*2
Total number of possible arrangements for females,
=5*4*3*2
Required probability
=6*5*4*3*2*5*4*3*2/11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2
= 1/462
