Let AA and BB be two events such that P(A∪B‾)=16,P(A∩B)=14P(\overline{A \cup B})=\frac{1}{6}, P(A \cap B)=\frac{1}{4} and P(Aˉ)=14P(\bar{A})=\frac{1}{4}, where Aˉ\bar{A} stands for complement of event AA. Then events AA and BB are
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
independent but not equally likely
Option B (independent but not equally likely) is correct because the events A and B are independent, but their probabilities are not equal.

A bag contains 4 red and 6 black balls. A ball is drawn at random from the bag, its colour is observed and this ball along with two additional balls of the same colour are refurned to the bag. If now a ball is drawn at random from the bog, then the probability this ball drawn is red, is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
25\frac{2}{5}
Option A (25\frac{{2}}{{5}}) is correct because it calculates the probability of drawing a red ball in the second draw considering the two possible scenarios of the first draw and adding two balls of the same color.
813 Easy

The probability that the three cards drawn from a pack of 52 cards, are all black, is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
217\frac{2}{{17}}
Option B (217\frac{2}{{17}}) is correct because it represents the probability of drawing 3 black cards out of 52, calculated using combinations.
814 Easy

The odds that AA speaks the truth are 3:23: 2 and the odds that BB speaks the truth are 5:35: 3. The percentage of cases they are likely to contradict each other on an identical point is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
47.5%47.5 \%
Option A (47.5 %) is correct because it calculates the percentage of cases where A and B contradict each other by considering the probabilities of one speaking the truth while the other lies.
815 Easy
815 of 822
Application +4 | -1
The mean and variance of a binomial variable XX are 2 and 1 respectively. The probability that XX takes values greater than 1, is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
1116\frac{{11}}{{16}}
Option C (1116\frac{{11}}{{16}}) is correct because it represents the probability that X takes values greater than 1, given the mean and variance of the binomial variable X.
816 Easy
816 of 822
Application +4 | -1
A biased coin with probability p,0<p<1p, 0 < p < 1, of heads is tossed until a head appears for the first time. If the probability that the number of tosses required is even is 2/52 / 5, then p equals
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
1/31 / 3
Option A (1/31 / 3) is correct because it is the value of p that satisfies the given probability condition for even number of tosses.
817 Easy

Application +4 | -1
Let AA and BB be two events such that the probability that exactly one of them occurs is 25\frac{2}{5} and the probability that AA or BB occurs is 12\frac{1}{2}, then the probability of both of them occur together is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
0.1
Option A (0.1) is correct because it is the probability of both events occurring together, calculated using the given probabilities.
818 Easy
818 of 822
Application +4 | -1
An insurance salesman sells policies to 5 men, all of identical age and in good health. The probability that a man of this particular age will be alive after 30 years is 2/3. The probability that after the lapse of 30 years all the five persons will be alive, is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
32243\frac{{32}}{{243}}
Option C (32243\frac{{32}}{{243}}) is correct because it is the probability that all five men are alive after 30 years, calculated by raising the individual probability to the power of 5.
819 Easy

Application +4 | -1
Each of aa and bb can take values 1 or 2 with equal probability. The probability that the equation ax2+bx+1=0a x^2+b x+1=0 has real roots, is equal to
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
14\frac{1}{4}
Option B (14\frac{1}{4}) is correct because the probability of the equation having real roots is determined by the discriminant condition, which is only satisfied when a=1 and b=2.
820 Easy
820 of 822
Analyzing +4 | -1
If the sides of a triangle are decided by the throw of a single dice thrice, the probability that triangle is of maximum area given that it is an isosceles triangle, is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
127\frac{1}{27}
Option B (127\frac{1}{27}) is correct because it represents the probability of getting a specific isosceles triangle (with sides 1,1,1) out of all possible isosceles triangles formed.
821 Easy
821 of 822
Application +4 | -1
A man alternately tosses a coin and throws a dice beginning with the coin. The probability that he gets a head before he gets 5 or 6 in the dice is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
34\frac{3}{4}
Option A (34\frac{3}{4}) is correct because it calculates the probability of getting a head before getting a 5 or 6 on the dice by summing an infinite geometric series.
822 Easy

Application +4 | -1
A person writes 4 letters and addresses 4 envelopes. If the letters are placed in the envelopes at random, the probability that not all letters are placed in correct envelopes is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
2324\frac{23}{24}
Option D (23/24) is correct because it's calculated by subtracting the probability of all letters being in the correct envelopes from 1.
