Q:
In a purse there are 30 coins, twenty one-rupee and remaining 50-paise coins. Eleven coins are picked simultaneously at random and are placed in a box. If a coin is now picked from the box, find the probability of it being a rupee coin?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: B) 2/3
Explanation: Total coins 30
In that,
1 rupee coins 20
50 paise coins 10
Probability of total 1 rupee coins = 20C11
Probability that 11 coins are picked = 30C11
Required probability of a coin now picked from the box is 1 rupee = 20C11/30C11 = 2/3.
