Event A : The sum of the digits on upper faces is a multiple of 6.
Event B : The sum of the digits on the upper faces is minimum 10.
Event C : The same digit on both the upper faces.

5 There are three boys and two girls. A committee of two is to be formed. Find the probability of events that the
committee contains: i) At least one girl ii) One boy and one girl. iii) Only boys.

6 A bag contains 15 balls of which some are white and others are red. If the probability of drawing a red ball is
twice that of a white ball, find the number of white balls in the bag.

7 A bag contains 2 red, 3 black and 4 green balls of the same size. A ball is drawn at random from the bag. Find
the probability for the following events :
i. Event A : Ball drawn is not red.
ii. Event B : Ball drawn is not black.
iii. Event C : Ball drawn is not green.
8 A bag contains 3 red, 3 white and 3 green balls. One ball is taken out of the bag at random. What is the
probability that the ball drawn is -
(1) red. (2) not red (3) either red or white.

9 If two dice are rolled simultaneously, find the probability of the following events.
(1) The sum of the digits on the upper faces is at least 10.
(2) The sum of the digits on the upper faces is 33.
(3) The digit on the first die is greater than the digit on second die.

Length and breadth of a rectangular garden are 77 m and 50 m. There is a circular lake in the garden
having diameter 14 m. Due to wind, a towel from a terrace on a nearby building fell into the garden. Then find
the probability of the event that it fell in the lake.

11 Two coins are tossed simultaneously. Write the sample space (S) and a number of sample points n(S). Also,
write the following events in the set form and write the number of sample points in each event.
(i) Condition for event A : to get at least one head.
(ii) Condition for event B : to get only one head.
(iii) Condition for event C : to get at most one tail.
(iv) Condition for event D : to get no head.
12 A bag contains in all 50 balls. Some of them are white, some are blue and some are red. The number of white
balls is 11 times the number of blue balls. The number of red balls is less than the number of white balls. Also,
the number of red balls is more than the number of blue balls. If one of the balls is selected at random from the
bag, what is the probability that it is red?

i. a black face card
ii. a queen
iii. a black card
iv. a heart
v. a spade
vi. '9' of black colour

14 Write sample space ‘S’ and number of sample point n(S) for each of the following experiments. Also write
events A, B, C in the set form and write n(A), n(B), n(C). Three coins are tossed simultaneously.
Condition for event A : To get at least two heads.
Condition for event B : To get no head.
Condition for event C : To get head on the second coin.
