The numbers can be arranged in ascending order in only one way. Therefore, option\u00a0C is the right answer.<\/p>\n 9)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(E)<\/strong><\/p>\n There are 6 cards and 2 out of the 6 cards are kings. 10)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(E)<\/strong><\/p>\n The radius of the coin is 3 cm. In the given diagram the center of the circle should lie in the blue region. As we can see, the area in which the centre of the coin can fall is a square of side 10-3-3 = 4 cm.
\nmarble is randomly drawn from the first bag followed by another randomly drawn from the
\nsecond bag, the probability of both being red is 5\/16. What is the probability of both marbles being blue?<\/p>\n
\nSelecting exactly 2 of the 9 professors can be done in $^9C_2$ way = 36
\nThey can correct the 5 papers in 2$^5$ – 2(all the 5 papers checked by the same professor) = 30\u00a0 ways.
\nThus, the total number of ways = 36*30
\nHence, the required probability = $\\dfrac{36*30}{9^5}$ = $\\dfrac{40}{2187}$
\nHence, option B is the correct answer.<\/p>\n
\nThus, the probability that the LPG will last more than 90 days = 0.4
\nThe probability that the LPG will last more than 60 days = 0.8 = The probability that the LPG will last 60 to 90 days + The probability that the LPG will last more than 90 days
\nHence, 0.4 + The probability that the LPG will last 60 to 90 days = 0.8
\nHence, The probability that the LPG will last 60 to 90 days = 0.8- 0.4 = 0.4
\nHence, option A is the correct answer.<\/p>\n
\nThe number of combinations that can occur = 6*6 = 36.
\nWe have to find the probability of the second roll being higher than the first.
\nIf we select 2 numbers out of the 6 and arrange them in ascending order, then we will obtain the scenario in which the number obtained in the second roll will be greater than the number obtained in the first roll.<\/p>\n
\nTherefore, the required probability is 15\/36.<\/p>\n
\nNumber of ways of selecting 2 cards = 6C2 = 15 ways.
\nNumber of ways in which 2 cards can be selected such that both of them are King = 2C2 = 1
\nNumber of ways in which 2 cards can be selected such that exactly one of them is a King = 2C1*4C1 = 8
\n=> a = (1+8)\/15 = 9\/15
\nb = 1-(9\/15) = 6\/15
\na\/b = 9\/6 = 1.5
\n1.5 > 1.25
\nTherefore, option E is the right answer.<\/p>\n
\nSo, if the coin should not cross the edge, the centre of the coin should at least be 3 cm away from the edge of the tile.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cracku.in\/media\/uploads\/XATq1.PNG\")
<\/figure>\n
\nTherefore, the area in which the centre of the coin can fall is 16 square cm.
\nArea of the tile = 100 square cm.
\nRequired probability = 16\/100 = 0.16.
\nTherefore, option\u00a0E is the right answer.<\/p>\n
