PART-D
[INTEGER TYPE]
Q.1 to Q.2 are "Integer Type" questions. (The answer to each of the questions are upto 4 digits) [2 × 5 = 10]

Q.1 Consider 3 independent trials, in which the event A occurs with the probability 0.2. The probability of the
occurrence of the event B depends on the number occurrences of A. If the event A occurs once, the
probability is 0.1, if A occurs twice, it is 0.3, if A occurs three times it is 0.7, if the event A does not occur
the event B is impossible. Find the most probable number of occurrences of A if it is known that B has
occurred.
[Ans. 1]

Q.2 A batch of fifty radio sets was purchased from three different companies A, B and C. Eighteen of them
were manufactured by A, twenty of them by B and the rest were manufactured by C.
The companies A and C produce excellent quality radio sets with probability equal to 0.9 ; B produces
the same with the probability equal to 0.6.
If the probability of the event that the excellent quality radio set chosen at random is manufactured by the
company B is expressed as p q  , find the least value of (p + q). [Ans. 17]
