1. If three of the six vertices of a regular hexagon are chosen at random, then the probability
that the triangle formed with these chosen vertices is equilateral is:
Solution:
2. Fifteen coupons are numbered 1, 2, 3, . . . ,15. Seven coupons are selected at random one at a
time with replacement. The probability that the largest number appearing on selected
coupon is 9 is.
a. (9/16)6 b. (8/15)7
97 −87
c. (3/5)7 d. 157
.
Solution:
Since there are 15 possible cases for selecting a coupon and seven coupons are selected,
Solution:
4. A number is chosen at random from the set {1, 2, 3, 4, ...... n}. 𝐿𝑒𝑡 𝐸1 be the event that the
numer drawn is divisible by 2 and 𝐸2 be the 3 event that the number drawn is divisible by 3,
then
a. 𝐸1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐸2 are always independent
b. 𝐸1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐸2 are independent if 𝑛 = 6𝑘(𝑘 ∈ 𝑁)
c. 𝐸1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐸2 are independent if 𝑛 = 6𝑘 + 2(𝑘 ∈ 𝑁)
d. 𝐸1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐸2 are dependent if n=10

5. The probabilities that a student passes in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry are 𝑚, 𝑝and 𝑐
respectively. Of these subjects the students have a 75% chance of passing in at least one, a
50% chance of passing in at least two and a 40% chance a passing in exactly two, which of
the following relations are true?

6. A covered basket of flowers has some lilies and roses. In search of rose, Sweety and Shweta
alternately pick up a flower from a basket but puts it back if it is not a rose. Sweety is 3
times more likely to be the first one to pick a rose. If sweety begin this ‘rose hunt’ and if
there are 60 lilies in the basket and ‘n’ be the number of roses in the basket, then ‘n’ is
divisible by

8. There are two red, two blue, two white and certain number (greater than 0) of green socks
in a drawer. If two socks are taken at random from the drawer without replacement, the
probability that they are of the same colour is 1/5, then the number of green socks is________.
Solution:
⇒ 4𝑥 2 − 16𝑥 = 0
⇒𝑥=4

D. If A and B are independent and 𝑃(𝐴) = 0.3 and
Solution:
C. Let A be the event that A is throwing sum of 9 and B be the event that B throws a number
greater than that thrown by A. We must find 𝑃(𝐵/𝐴) = 𝑃(𝐴 ∩ 𝐵)/𝑃(𝐴) = 𝑃(𝐵) (as A and B
are independent). The probability that is throwing dice so that sum is higher than 9 is.
