Question Detail

From a pack of 52 cards, two cards are drawn together, what is the probability that both the cards are kings

2/121
2/221
1/221
1/13

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{Total cases =} ^{52}C_2 \\
= \frac{52*51}{2*1} = 1326 \\
\text{Total King cases =} ^{4}C_2 \\
= \frac{4*3}{2*1} = 6 \\

\text{Probability =} = \frac{6}{1326}\\
= \frac{1}{221} \\
\end{aligned}

1. Bag contain 10 back and 20 white balls, One ball is drawn at random. What is the probability that ball is white

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Total cases = 10 + 20 = 30
Favourable cases = 20

So probability = 20/30 = 2/3

2. From a pack of 52 cards, two cards are drawn together, what is the probability that both the cards are kings

2/121
2/221
1/221
1/13

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

3. Two unbiased coins are tossed. What is probability of getting at most one tail ?

\begin{aligned} \frac{1}{2} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \frac{1}{3} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \frac{3}{2} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \frac{3}{4} \end{aligned}

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Total 4 cases = [HH, TT, TH, HT]
Favourable cases = [HH, TH, HT]
Please note we need atmost one tail, not atleast one tail.

So probability = 3/4

4. What is the probability of getting a sum 9 from two throws of dice.

1/3
1/9
1/12
2/9

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Total number of cases = 6*6 = 36

Favoured cases = [(3,6), (4,5), (6,3), (5,4)] = 4

So probability = 4/36 = 1/9

5. From a pack of 52 cards, 1 card is drawn at random. Find the probability of a face card drawn.

3/13
1/52
1/4
None of above

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Total number of cases = 52

Total face cards = 12 [favourable cases]

So probability = 12 /52 = 3/13
