Question Detail
There is a pack of 52 cards and Rohan draws two cards together, what is the probability that one is spade and one is heart ?
- 11/102
- 13/102
- 11/104
- 11/102
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}
1. Bag contain 10 back and 20 white balls, One ball is drawn at random. What is the probability that ball is white
- 1
- 2/3
- 1/3
- 4/3
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, 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
3. A speaks truth in 75% of cases and B in 80% of cases. In what percentage of cases are they likely to contradict each other, narrating the same incident
- 30%
- 35%
- 40%
- 45%
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let A = Event that A speaks the truth
B = Event that B speaks the truth
Then P(A) = 75/100 = 3/4
P(B) = 80/100 = 4/5
P(A-lie) = 1-3/4 = 1/4
P(B-lie) = 1-4/5 = 1/5
Now
A and B contradict each other =
[A lies and B true] or [B true and B lies]
= P(A).P(B-lie) + P(A-lie).P(B)
[Please note that we are adding at the place of OR]
= (3/5*1/5) + (1/4*4/5) = 7/20
= (7/20 * 100) % = 35%
4. Three unbiased coins are tossed, what is the probability of getting at least 2 tails ?
- 1/3
- 1/6
- 1/2
- 1/8
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
5. There is a pack of 52 cards and Rohan draws two cards together, what is the probability that one is spade and one is heart ?
- 11/102
- 13/102
- 11/104
- 11/102
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}
