Q.10) Two dice thrown simultaneously, what is the ratio of the probability of getting sum of the dice is more than 10 to the sum of the dice is divisible by 3?

  1. 1:3
  2. 1:2
  3. 1:4
  4. 2:3
  5. 2:5

Answers:

Q.1) Answer c

Given,

Total no. of probability = 9+x

Required probability = 5/(9+x)=1/3

=>9+x=15=>x=6

Q.2) Answer b

Given,

6c2/(x+18)c2=5/92

X2+35x-246=0

Simplify the above equation we get x=6

Required difference = 10-8=2 balls

Q.3) Answer e

Possibilities of getting sum of the dice divisible by 5

  • (1,4) (2,3) (3,2) (4,1) (4,6) (5,5) (6,4) =7

Possibilities of getting difference of the dice is divisible by 2

  • (1,3) (1,5) (2,4) (2,6) (3,1) (3,5) (4,2) (4,6) (5,1) (5,3) (6,2) (6,4)=12

Required difference = (12/36)-(7/36)= 5/36

Q.4) Answer b

Probability of getting one green ball in bucket A = x/(2x+5)=1/3

X=5

Required no of ball in bucket B = 3+6=9

Q.5) Answer d

Required probability = 4/52*5/51=5/663

Q.6) Answer e

Required probability = (2/3*3/5*1/4) + (1/3*3/5*1/4) + (2/5*2/3*1/4) + (3/4*2/3*3/5)

=(6/60) + (3/60) + (4/60) + (18/60)

= 31/60

Q.7) Answer c

Probability of getting one black colour ball in bucket P = x/(9+x)=2/5

=>3x=18=>x=6

Required probability in bucket Q = 1-11c2/20c2=1-11/38=27/38

Directions (Q. 8-9)

Q.8) Answer a

Required probability = ½ (6c2*9c1+6c3)/15c3+1/2 (5c2*10c1+5c3)/15c3

=1/2*1/15c3 (155+110) =53/182

Q.9) Answer d

Required probability = ½ ((5c2*10c1+5c1*10c2+10c3)/15c3+(5c2*10c1+5c1*10c2+10c3)/15c3)

= 445/455=89/91

Q.10) Answer c

Possibilities of sum of the dice is more than 10 (5,6) (6,5) (6,6) = 3

Possibilities of sum of the dice is divisible by 3 (1,2) (1,5) (2,1) (2,4) (3,3) (3,6) (4,2) (4,5) (5,1) (5,4) (6,3) (6,6)=12

Required ratio = 3:12=1:4
