1)

In a pack of 52 cards, a man picks 5 cards randomly. Compare the quantities in the given
columns.
Column A : The probability that the man has selected all the 5 cards have same color, given
that all the cards have
same suit.
Column B : 1
Both the columns are equal

Explanation: Here we need to find the probability of selecting five cards of same color and same suite.
Thus it is a sure event and hence the probability is 1.

Therefore both the columns are equal.

2)
There are 5 envelopes and 5 letters corresponding to each envelope.
Compare the quantities in the given columns.

Column A: Probability that only one letter reaches the wrong envelope
Column B: 0

A=B ...Correct

Explanation:

Column A:
Total no. of ways of choosing envelopes =5! =120
Only one letter in the wrong envelope and it is not possible.
It should be minimum 2.

When 4 letters are in the right envelope the other one must be in the correct envelope.

Hence probability is 0.
Column B: 0

So Column A = Column B

3)
When a biased coin is tossed, the probability of getting head is 0.4. If the same coin is tossed
twice, then what is the
probability of getting exactly one tail?

Explanation:

probability of getting head is 0.4 = 4/10 = 2/5

probability of getting tail = 1-2/5 = 3/5

getting exactly one tail = 2C1 x 2/5 x 3/5 = 2 x 2/5 x 3/5 = 12/25 = 48/100 = 0.48

4)
What is the probability of getting a non-prime number, when a dice is rolled?

Explanation:

The non-prime numbers are 1, 4 , 6

Then the probability of getting a non- prime number = 3/6= 1/2

5)
In a pack of 52 cards, if a card is picked at random then compare the quantities in the given
columns.
Column A : Probability that the selected card is a red king
Column B : Probability that the selected card is a queen
Column B is greater than Column A

Explanation:
Column A: Probability that the selected card is a red king

In a pack of cards we have 2 red kings (1-Diamond and 1- Heart)

The probability that the selected card is a red king = 2/52= 0.0385

Column B:Probability that the selected card is a queen

In a pack of cards we have 4 queens (1-Diamond, 1- Heart, 1- Spade and 1 - Club)

The probability that the selected card is a queen = 4/52= 0.077

Hence Column B > Column A

6)
Compare the quantities from the given columns.
Column A : Probability of getting at least one head when three unbiased coins are tossed
together.
Column B : Probability of getting at most two tails when three unbiased coins are tossed
together.
Both the columns are equal

Explanation:
When three unbiased coins are tossed together, the possible outcomes are HHH, HHT, HTH,
THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT
No. of possible outcomes = 8

Event of getting at least one head when three unbiased coins are tossed together = HHH,
HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH
Hence, In this case, number of favourable outcomes =7
Probability of getting at least one head when three unbiased coins are tossed together = No.
of favourable outcomes/Total no. of outcomes = 7/8

Event of getting at most two tails when three unbiased coins are tossed together = HHH,
HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH
Hence, In this case, number of favourable outcomes =7
Probability of getting at most two tails when three unbiased coins are tossed together =No. of
favourable outcomes/Total no. of outcomes = 7/8

Hence Col A is equal to Col.B

7)
Suppose three coins are tossed together, then compare the quantities from the given
columns.
Column A : Probability of getting three heads given that atleast one of the coins shows head.
Column B : 1/ 7
Both the columns are equal

Explanation:
Given that three coins are tossed together.
All possible outcomes are HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT
Let A be the event of getting three heads (HHH) when three coins are tossed.
Probability of getting three heads when three coins are tossed P(A)= 1/8

Let B be the event of getting atleast one head when three coins are tossed.
The possible outcomes of B are HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH
Probability of getting atleast one head when three coins are tossed P(B)= 7/8

P(A and B) = 1/8

Here the A and B are dependent (both contain HHH).

We know that,

When two events, A and B, are dependent, the probability of both occurring is
P(A /B) = P(A and B)/P(B)
=(1/8)/(7/8)
=1/7
Probability of getting three heads given that at least one of the coins shows head = P(A/B) =
1/7

Therefore Col A =1/7

Hence both the columns are equal.

1) How many four digit numbers can be formed using the digits 1, 2, 6 and 3 with repetitions

The answer is 4*3*2*1 or 256 ways.

2) In how many ways a set of twenty different flowers can be arranged in a circular to form a
garland?
Explanation:
n distinct objects can be arranged in a circluar form in (n-1)! ways.

Here 20 different flowers can be arranged in (20-1)! = 19! ways.

3)
What is the total number of squares, which form the perimeter of a chess board?

Explanation:

In chess board we have 8 rows and 8 columns.

The perimeter of a chess board = Total number of squares (Equal in size) of the four outlines.
The first line will have 8 squares.
The second line will have 7 squares (One of the square would be common for both 1st and 2nd line)
The third line will have 7 squares (One of the square would be common for both 2st and 3nd line)
And the fourth line will have 6 squares (Tow squares would be common in the third and first line)
Hence the total number of squares = 8 + 7 + 7 + 6 = 28.

4)
In how many ways two teams of ten persons each can be formed from a group of twenty people?
10!X10!
20C10X20C10
20C10...Correct
20P10
20!
Explanation:

The first team can be select by 20C10 ways then the remaining 10 persons will be on another team.
Hence it can be done by 20C10 ways.
