    Detailed Solutions

    2 1
    1. n (S) = 6, n (A) = 2, Hence P (A) = = . Ans.(3)
    6 3
    2. 3 balls can be selected from 9 balls in 9 C 3 ways. Hence n(S) = 9 C 3 .
    If A be the event of getting 3 black balls in 5 C 3 ways. Hence n (A) = 5 C 3

    n(A) 5 C3 5
    ∴ Required probability P(A) = = = . Ans.(1)
    n(S) 9 C3 42

    3. n(S) = 12 C
    2 = 66, n(A) = 7 C 2 = 21

    n(A) 21 7
    ∴ P(A) = = = . Ans.(3)
    n(S) 66 22
    4. Let A be the required event and S be the sample space then
    Event (A) = {(2, 2), (4, 4), (6, 6)}
    n (A) = 3 and n (S) =36

    3 1
    ∴ P(A) = = . Ans.(3)
    36 12
    5. Let A be the required event and S be the sample space then A = {(2, 3), (2, 6),(4, 3), (4, 6), (6, 3),
    (6, 6), (3, 2), (6, 2), (3, 4), (6, 4), (3, 6)}
    n (A) = 11, n (S) = 36.

    11
    Hence required probability = . Ans.(2)
    36
    6. Let A be the required event then, A = {3, 6, 9, 12, 14, 15, 18, 21} and n(A) = 8
    n (S) = 20
    The required probability

    n(A) 8 2
    P(A) = = = . Ans.(1)
    n(S) 20 5
    7. A = {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23)
    ∴ n(A) = 9,

    n(A) 9
    Hence required probability = = . Ans.(3)
    n(S) 25
    8. Out of 52 cards, one card can be drawn in 52 C 1 ways.
    Hence n(S) = 52.
    Now let A be the required event. There are 2 cards which are red and king i.e. red kings then n(A)
    = 2 C1 = 2

    2 1
    So, required probability = = . Ans.(3)
    52 26
    9. Four cards can be selected from 52 cards in 52 C 4 ways. Now, there are four suits e.g. club, spade,
    heart and diamond each of 13 cards. So total number of ways of getting all the four cards of the
    same suit = 13 C 4 + 13 C 4 + 13 C 4 + 13 C 4 = 4 × 13 C 4

    4 ×13 C4 198
    So, required probability = 52
    = . Ans.(2)
    C4 20825
    10. Let A be the required event then four cards drawn can be of the same number in anyone of the
    following ways.
    (1, 1, 1, 1) (2, 2, 2, 2) (3, 3, 3, 3) ... (13, 13, 13, 13)
    n (A) = 13, n (S) = 52 C 4

    13
    ∴ Required probability = 52
    . Ans.(1)
    C4
