Q:

A word consists of 9 letters; 5 consonants and 4 vowels.Three letters are choosen at random. What is the probability that more than one vowel will be selected ?

A) 13/42 B) 17/42
C) 5/42 D) 3/14
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 17/42

Explanation:

3 letters can be choosen out of 9 letters in 9C3 ways.

 

More than one vowels ( 2 vowels + 1 consonant  or  3 vowels ) can be choosen in (4C2*5C1)+4C3 ways

 

Hence,required probability = 4C2*5C1+4C39C3 = 17/42

Q:

Three dice are thrown together.Find the probability of getting a total of atleast 6.

A) 103/216 B) 103/108
C) 103/36 D) 36/103
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 103/108

Explanation:

Total number of events=6 x 6 x 6=216
Let A be the event of getting a total of atleast 6 and B denoted event of getting a total of less than 6 i.e.,3,4,5.

So,B={(1,1,1),(1,1,2),(1,2,1),(2,1,1),(1,1,3),(1,3,1),(3,1,1),(1,2,2),(2,1,2),(2,2,1)}

Favourable number of cases=10

Therefore,P(B)=10/216

=> P(A) = 1 - P(B)

             = 1 - (10/216) = 103/108
