Expected DI and Caselet on Probability for Upcoming Bank & Insurance Mains Exams

x(x – 1) = 56 x(x – 1) = 90
x2 – x – 56 = 0 x2 – x – 90 = 0
x2 – 8x + 7x – 56 = 0 x = 10 or x = -9
x(x – 8) + 7(x – 8) = 0 Since, the number of balls cannot be negative.
(x + 7)(x – 8) = 0 So, Number of pink balls = 10
x = -7 or x = 8 Similarly, Let number of red balls = ‘y’
y
Since, the number of balls cannot be negative. C2/35C2 = 2/119
So, Number of pink balls = 8 y(y – 1) = 2/119 × 35 × 34
Similarly, Let number of red balls = ‘y’ y2 – y = 20
y
C2/45C2 = 1/15 y2 – y – 20 = 0
y(y – 1) = 1/15 × 45 × 44 So, y = 5 or y = -4
y2 – y = 132 So, number of red balls = 5
y2 – y – 132 = 0 Similarly, Let the number green balls = ‘z’
z
So, y = 12 or y = -11 C2/35C2 = 4/85
So, number of red balls = 12 z(z – 1) = 4/85 × 35 × 34
Similarly, Let the number black balls = ‘z’ z2 – z – 56 = 0
z
C2/45C2 = 1/22 So, z = 8 or z = -7
z(z – 1) = 1/22 × 45 × 44 So, number of green balls in the bag = 8
z2 – z – 90 = 0 Number of black balls in the bag = 35 – (10 + 5 + 8) =
So, z = 10 or z = -9 12
12
So, number of black balls in the bag = 10 Probability of drawing two black balls = C2/35C2 = (12
Number of green balls in the bag = 45 – (8 + 12 + 10) = × 11)/(35 × 34) = 66/595
15 For Bag R:
15
Probability of drawing two green balls = C2/45C2 = (15 Total number of balls in bag R = 30
× 14)/(45 × 44) = 7/66 Let number of pink balls in the bag be x
For Bag Q: According to question:
x
Total number of balls in bag Q = 35 C2/30C2 = 2/87
Let number of pink balls in the bag be x x(x – 1) = 2/87 × 30 × 29
According to question: x(x – 1) = 20
x
C2/35C2 = 9/119 x2 – x – 20 = 0
x(x – 1) = 9/119 × 35 × 34 x2 – 5x + 4x – 20 = 0
