In a box, there are 8 red, 7 blue and 6 green balls. One ball is picked up randomly. What is the probability that it is neither blue nor green?

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Number greater than 5 is 6, so only 1 number
Total cases of dice = [1,2,3,4,5,6]

So probability = 1/6

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Two cards are drawn together from a pack of 52 cards. The probability that one is a spade and one is a heart, is:

Let sample space be S
\begin{aligned}
\text{then, n(S) = }^{52} C _2 \\
=> \frac{52 \times 51}{ 2 \times 1} = 1326 \\
\text {let E be event of getting 1 spade and 1 heart} \\
\text{So, n(E) = ways of getting 1 spade or 1 heart out of 13} \\
= ^{13}C_1 \times ^{13}C_1 \\
= 13 \times 13 \\
= 169 \\
\text{So, p(E) = }\frac{n(E)}{n(S)} \\
= \frac{169}{1326} = \frac{13}{102}
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{Total cases =} ^{12}C_3 \\
= \frac{12*11*10}{3*2*1} = 220 \\
\text{Total cases of drawing same colour =} \\
^{5}C_3 + ^{4}C_3 + ^{3}C_3 \\
\frac{5*4}{2*1} + 4 + 1 = 15 \\

\text{Probability of same colur =} = \frac{15}{220}\\
= \frac{3}{44} \\

\text{Probability of not same colur =} \\
1-\frac{3}{44}\\ = \frac{41}{44}

\end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Total cases are = 2*2*2 = 8, which are as follows
[TTT, HHH, TTH, THT, HTT, THH, HTH, HHT]

Favoured cases are = [TTH, THT, HTT, TTT] = 4

So required probability = 4/8 = 1/2

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}
