Q.9
On the counter are six squares marked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Players are invited to place as much money as they wish
on any one square. Three dice are then thrown.
- If your number appears on one die only, you get your money back plus the same amount.
- If two dice show your number, you get your money back plus twice the amount you placed on the square.
- If your number appears on all three dice, you get your money back plus three times the amount.
- If the number is not on any of the dice, the operator gets your money.
For example, suppose that you bet one Rupee on square No. 6. If one die shows a 6, you get your Rupee back
plus another Rupee. If two dice show 6, you get back your Rupee plus two Rupees. If three dice show 6, you get
your Rupee back plus three Rupees.
From a player's point of view, the chance of his number showing on one die is 1/6, but since there are three dice,
the chances must be 3/6 or 1/2, therefore the game is a fair one. Of course this is the way the operator of the
game wants everyone to reason, for it is quite fallacious.

Q.19
According to the National Agricultural Aviation Society (NAAS), without the use of crop protection products to
control insects, weeds, and diseases, crop yields per acre will acre will drop by more than 50 percent. The first
aerial application of insecticide occured in 1921, and it was a huge success. By contrast, in today's economy all
aircraft that are classified as aerial applicators do more than just apply insecticide; today, they also spread seed
and apply fertilizer.
a according to the NAAS, if crop yields per acre never drop by more than 50 percent, then crop protection
products have been used to control insects, weeds, and diseases
b in today s economy, any aircraft that cannot be used to apply fertilizer cannot be classified as an aerial
applicator
c in today s economy, if an aerial applicator is used, then it will be able to spread seed and to apply fertilizer.
d according to the NAAS, if crop yields per acre drop by more than 50 percent, then crop protection products
