Q2. If three distinct numbers are chosen randomly from the first 100 natural
numbers. Find the probability that all the three of them are divisible by both 2
and 3.
Solution:
Q3. Two natural numbers are selected randomly from first 10 natural
numbers. Define events
A = both numbers are primes
B = both numbers are twin primes
C = sum of numbers is odd.
Find P(A), P(B), P(C), odds in favour of A & odds against B.
Solution:
Given, S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
Here, prime numbers = {2, 3, 5, 7}
Twin primes = {(3, 5), (5, 7)}
Sum of numbers is odd when one even and one odd number is added
Solution:
Odds in favour of A =
Odds against B =
Q4. A bag contains 5 white & 4 red balls. 3 balls are drawn. Odds against all three
are red is
