Question :1

4 gentlemen and 4 ladies take seats at random round a table. The probability that they are sitting alternately is

Answer: (d)

n(S) = 7!, n(E) = (3!) × (4!)

∴ P(E) = ${(3!) (4!)}/{7!} = 6/{7 × 6 × 5} = 1/15 = 1/35$

Question :2

Suppose six coins are tossed simultaneously. Then the probability of getting at least one tail is

Answer: (b)

If six coins are tossed, then the total no. of outcomes

= $(2)^6 = 64$

Now, probability of getting no tail = $1/64$

Probability of getting at least one tail

= $1 - 1/64 = 63/64$

Question :3

Two dice are thrown simultaneously. The probability of obtaining a total score of seven is

Answer: (c)

When two are thrown then there are 6 × 6 exhaustive cases

∴ n = 36.

Let A denote the event "total score of 7" when 2 dice are thrown then A = [(1, 6), (2, 5), (3, 4), (4, 3), (5, 2), (6, 1)].

Thus there are 6 favourable cases.

∴ m = 6 By definition P(A) = $m/n$

∴P(A) = $6/36 = 1/6$

Question :4

The probability that in the random arrangement of the letters of the word 'UNIVERSITY', the two I's does not come together is

Answer: (c)

Total no. of arrangements of the letters of the word UNIVERSITY is ${10!}/{2!}$.

No. of arrangements when both I's are together = 9!

So. the no. of ways in which 2 I's do not together

= ${10!}/{2!} = 9!$

∴ Required probability

= ${{{10!}/{2!}} - {9!}}/{{10!}/{2!}} = {10! - 9! 2!}/{10!}$

Question :5

The probability of happening an event A in one trial is 0.4. The probability that the event A happens at least once in three independent trials is –

Answer: (d)

Here P(A) = 0.4 and $P(\ov{A})$ = 0.6

Probability that A does not happen at all = $(0.6)^3$

Thus required probability = 1 – $(0.6)^3$ = 0.784
