View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
118\frac{1}{18}
Option C is correct because the probability is calculated by dividing the number of pairs of squares sharing a side by the total number of ways to choose two squares.

A box contains 9 tickets numbered 1 to 9 inclusive. If 3 tickets are drawn from the box without replacement. The probability that they are alternatively either {odd, even, odd} of {even, odd, even} is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
518\frac{5}{{18}}

Application +4 | -1
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 returned to the bag. If now a ball is drawn at random from the bag, then the probability that this drawn ball is red, is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
25\frac{2}{5}
Option B (25\frac{2}{5}) is correct because it is the probability of drawing a red ball on the second draw, calculated using the law of total probability considering the two possible outcomes of the first draw (red or black).

Let A,BA, B and CC be three events such that P(C)=0P(C)=0.

Statement-1: P(A∩B∩C)=0P(A \cap B \cap C)=0

Statement-2: P(A∪B∪C)=P(A∪B)P(A \cup B \cup C)=P(A \cup B)
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is True; STATEMENT-2 is NOT a correct explanation for STATEMENT-1
Option B (STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is True; STATEMENT-2 is NOT a correct explanation for STATEMENT-1) is correct because both statements are true, but the second statement doesn't explain the first.

Two numbers are randomly selected from
the first 100 natural numbers. The probability that the
product of the numbers is divisible by 7 is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
48594950\frac{4859}{4950}
Option C (48594950\frac{4859}{4950}) is correct because it calculates the probability that at least one of the two numbers is divisible by 7.

If P(A∩B)=12,P(Aˉ∩Bˉ)=13,P(A)=p,P(B)=2pP(A \cap B)=\frac{1}{2}, P(\bar{A} \cap \bar{B})=\frac{1}{3}, P(A)=p, P(B)=2 p, then the value of p{p} is given by
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
718\frac{7}{18}
Option B (7/18) is correct because it is the value of p that satisfies the given probability conditions using the properties of probability and set theory.
279 Medium
279 of 285
Application +4 | -1
In a company, there are seven machines and the probability of any of them to be out of service on a day is 13.\frac{1}{3}. If the probability that atmost 3 machines will be out of service on the same day is 16k37,\frac{16 k}{3^7}, then kk is equal to
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
113
Option B (113) is correct because the probability is calculated using binomial distribution, considering at most 3 machines out of service.

The probability distribution of a random variable is P(X)={X15;X=1,2,3,4,50, otherwise P(X)=\left\{\begin{array}{c}\frac{X}{15} ; X=1,2,3,4,5 \\ 0, \text { otherwise }\end{array}\right.. Then P{12<X<52∣X>1∣}=P\left\{\frac{1}{2} < X < \frac{5}{2}|X>1|\right\}=
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
1/71 / 7
Option B (1/7) is correct because it is the conditional probability calculated using the given probability distribution.

Let ω\mathrm{\omega } be a complex cube root of unity with ω  ≠1\mathrm{\omega \;} \ne 1. A fair die is thrown three times. If r1,  r2  {r_1},\;{r_2}\; and r3{r_3} are the numbers obtained on the die, then the probability that ωr1+ωr2+ωr3=0{\mathrm{\omega }^{{r_1}}} + {\mathrm{\omega }^{{r_2}}} + {\mathrm{\omega }^{{r_3}}} = 0 is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
29\frac{2}{9}
Option C (2/9) is correct because it represents the probability of obtaining numbers on the die such that ωr1+ωr2+ωr3=0{{\omega }^{{r_1}}} + {{\omega }^{{r_2}}} + {{\omega }^{{r_3}}} = 0, where ω\omega is a complex cube root of unity.

Let A,B\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B} and C\mathrm{C} be three events such that the probability that exactly one of A\mathrm{A} and B\mathrm{B} occurs is (1−k)(1-k), the probability that exactly one of B\mathrm{B} and C\mathrm{C} occurs is (1−2k)(1-2 k), the probability that exactly one of C\mathrm{C} and A\mathrm{A} occurs is (1−k)(1-k) and the probability of all A,B\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B} and C\mathrm{C} occur simultaneously is k2k^2, where 0<k<10 < k < 1. Then the probability that at least one of A,B\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B} and C\mathrm{C} occur is:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
greater than 12\frac{1}{2}
The correct answer is C (greater than 1/2). The probability that at least one of A, B, and C occurs is greater than 1/2, derived from the given probabilities and the inclusion-exclusion principle.

View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
8/168 / 16
Option B (8/16) is correct, which simplifies to 1/2. The probability is calculated by finding the range of values for which the product is greater than or equal to 3/4 of the maximum product.
