The probability of picking purse
A = 1/2.
There are a total of 7 coins ion
it and the probability of picking
a copper coin in it = 4/7
Thus, the probability of picking
a copper coin from purse A =
(1/2) x (4/7)
Similarly, the probability of
picking a copper coin from
purse B = (1/2) x (6/8) 
So, required probability for
picking a copper coin

= 

Probability for A to pass in

examination = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8
Probability for B to pass in
examination = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7
Probability that either A or B
will fail = 1 - 0.8 x 0.7 = 1 - 0.56
= 0.44 
Number of outcomes when
maximum number on tickets is
not more than 10, i.e. between
1 and 10 = 10C2 
Number of outcomes when
minimum number on tickets is
not less than 5, i.e. between 5
and 10 = 6C2
Thus, required probability

he number of ways of seating n

persons in a row is = n! and the
number of ways in which two
specified persons sit together is
= 2!   (n - 1) !.
P (selected persons are not
together) = s

A coin is tossed 6 times. The

probability of getting a head

three times is .
x denotes the number of sixes
in four consecutive throws of a

dice, then P (x = 4) is 4C4   

 = s

8 coins are tossed at a time.

The probability of getting at
least 6 heads is
(8C6 + 8C7 + 8C8)  = 

= 
The chance that both girls
throw the same number is 1/6
The total number of ways of
seating of the persons is (10 -
1)! = 9! 
and when two specified
persons sit together, the
number of ways = 8! 2!. 
Hence, required probability =

1 -   =7/9.
ight persons A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around a circular table at equal distances facing
centre and they like different sports i.e golf, cricket, hockey, football, squash, rugby, tennis and
boxing but not necessarily in the same order. The immediate neighbours of H like neither tennis
nor hockey. One who likes tennis is the immediate neighbour of the one who likes rugby. The
immediate neighbour of A and C likes golf. B is the immediate neighbour of E and F. D is sitting
second to the right of H. One of the immediate neighbours of E likes cricket. G is second to the
right of A. The person sitting opposite to F likes football. Two persons, one of which likes hockey
and other likes boxing, are sitting opposite to each other. The person sitting opposite to H likes
squash.

Eight persons from different companies - Amarraja, SAIL, Federal Bank, ITI, ITDC, MTNL, TATA Steel
and Western Coal Fields are sitting in two parallel rows with four persons each, in such a way that
there is an equal distance between adjacent persons.
In row 1, Jai, Kalyan, Laxman and Manoj are sitting and all of them are facing North.
In row 2, Ajay, Bharat, Chaitu and Damodar are sitting and all of them are facing South. Therefore,
in the given seating arrangement, each member sitting in a row faces another member of the other
row.
• The person from ITDC faces the one who is at the immediate left of Laxman. Laxman is neither
from SAIL nor from Federal Bank.
• An immediate neighbour of Ajay faces the person from Amarraja. The person from MTNL faces
the person, who is at the left of the person from SAIL.
• There is only one person sitting between the persons from SAIL and TATA Steel, but that person is
not Jai. The persons from SAIL and Federal Bank are not sitting at the extreme ends.
• Bharat sits at the immediate left of the person from ITDC. Persons from ITI and MTNL are
immediate neighbours. Chaitu and Kalyan are not sitting at any of the ends.
• Manoj faces the one who is sitting on the immediate right of the person from MTNL. Ajay is not
from MTNL or ITI.
