(i) An even number (ii) a multiple of 3
(iii) An even number or a multiple of 3
(iv) An even number and a multiple of 3
(v) A number 3 and 4
(vi) An odd number
(vii) A number less than 5
(viii) A number greater than 3
(ix) A number between 3 and 6. [R.D. Sharma]
Example 2.The unbiased coins are tossed simultaneously. Find the probability of
getting
(i) Two heads (ii) one head
(iii) One tail (iv) at least one head
(v) At most one head (vi) no head [R.D. Sharma]

multiple of 3 or 7? [R.D. Sharma]
Example 5.One card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards, each of the 52 cards being

selected? [R.D. Sharma]
Example 7.It is known that a box of 600 electric bulbs contains 12 defective bulbs.
One bulb is taken out at random from this box. What is the probability that it is a
non-defective bulb? [R.D. Sharma]
Example 8. 17 cards numbered 1, 2, 3, …., 17 are put in a box and mixed thoroughly.
One person draws a card from the box. Find the probability that the number on the
card is :
(i) Odd (ii) a prime
(iii) Divisible by 3 (iv) divisible by 3 and 2 both [R.D. Sharma]
Example 9.1000 tickets of a lottery were sold and there are 5 prizes on these tickets.
If Saket has purchased one lottery ticket, what is the probability of winning a prize?
[R.D. Sharma]
Example 10.A child has a block in the shape of a cube with one letter written on
each face as shown below :

[R.D. Sharma]
Example 11.A bag contains 5 red balls, 8 white balls, 4 green balls and 7 black balls.

Example 15.A piggy bank contains hundred 50 paisa coins, fifty Rs. 1 coins, twenty
Rs. 2 coins and ten Rs. 5 coins. If it is equally likely that one of the coins will fallout
when the bank is turned up side down, what is the probability that the coin (i) will
be a 50 paisa coin? (ii) will not be a Rs. 5 coins? [R.D. Sharma]
Example 16.A game consists of tossing a one rupee coin 3 times and noting its
outcome each time. Hanif wins if all the tosses give the same result i.e. three heads
or three tails, and loses otherwise. Calculate the probability that hanif will lose the
game. [R.D. Sharma]
Example 17.A jar contains 24 marbles some are green are others are blue. If a
marble is drawn at random from the jar, the probability that it is green is 2/3. Find
the number of the blue marbles in the jar. [R.D. Sharma]
Example 18.A jar contains 54 marbles each of which is blue, green or white. The
probability of selecting a blue marble at random from the jar is 1/3, and the
probability of selecting a green marble at random is 4/9 [R.D. Sharma]
