1. A box contains 24 balls of which 12 are black and 7. An urn contains 2 white and 2 black balls. A ball is
12 are white. The balls are drawn at random from drawn at random if it is white, it is not replaced into
the box one at a time with replacement. The urn otherwise it is replaced along with another ball
probability that a white ball is drawn for the 4th time of the same colour. The processes is repeated. The
on the 7th draw is: probability that the third ball draw is black is:
(1) 5/64 (2) 27/32 (1) 23/30 (2) 3/20
(3) 5/32 (4) 11/32 (3) 19/60 (4) 1/2
2. The probability that certain electronic component 8. A and B are two independent witnesses (i.e., there is
fails when first used is 0.10. If it does not fail no collusion between them) in a case. The
immediately, the probability that it lasts for one year probability that A will speak the truth is x and the
is 0.99. The probability that a new component will probability that B will speak the truth is y. A and B
last for one year is: agree in a certain statement. The probability that the
(1) 0.9 (2) 0.01 statement is true is:
(3) 0.119 (4) 0.891 x−y xy
(1) (2)
x+y 1 + x + y + xy
3. A die is rolled three times, the probability of getting
x−y xy
a larger number than the previous number is: (3) (4)
1 − x − y + 2xy 1 − x − y + 2xy
(1) 5/216 (2) 5/54
(3) 1/6 (4) 5/36
9. A student appears for tests I, II and III. The student
4. An ordinary cube has 4 blank faces, one face is successful if he passes either in test I and II or
marked 2 and another marked 3. The probability of tests I and III. The probabilities of the student
obtaining 12 in 5 throws is: passing in test I, II and III are respectively p, q and
(1) 5/2592 (2) 5/1944 1/2. If the probability that the student is successful is
(3) 5/1296 (4) 5/648 1/2, then p(1 + q) =
(1) 1/2 (2) 1
5. Three critics review a book. Odds in favour of the (3) 3/2 (4) 3/4
book are 5 : 2, 4 : 3 and 3 : 4 respectively for the
three critics. The probability that majority are in 10. A natural number x is chosen at random from the
favour of the book is: first 100 natural numbers. The probability that
(1) 35/49 (2) 125/343 x 2 − 60x + 800
0 is:
(3) 164/343 (4) 209/343 x − 30
(1) 3/25 (2) 1/50
6. A person throws two dice, one the common cube (3) 7/25 (4) 3/50
and the other regular tetrahedron with numbers 1, 2,
3, 4 on its faces, the number on the lowest face 11. The integers x and y are chosen at random from the
being taken in the case of a tetrahedron. The chance set {x : 0 x 10, x I} then probability for
that the sum of numbers thrown is not less than 5 is: |x – y| 5 is:
(1) 1/4 (2) 3/4 (1) 91/121 (2) 91/100
(3) 4/5 (4) 5/6 (3) 87/100 (4) 87/121
