Q.3 A) Complete the following Activity (Any one) (3)

1) How many two-digit numbers are divisible by 5?
Two-digit numbers divisible by 5 are 10, 15, 20, ........., 95.

Here d = 5 ∴ This sequence is an A.P.

Here a = 10, d = 5, tn = 95, n = ?

tn = a + (n – 1) _____

_____ = 10 + (n – 1) × 5

_____ = (n – 1) × 5

17 = (n – 1)

∴ n = _____

∴ There are _____ two-digit numbers divisible by 5.

2) A die is thrown. Find the probability of getting :

i. an odd number.
ii. a perfect square.
iii. a number greater than 3.
Let S be the sample space.
Then S = {_____}

∴ n (S) = 6.

i. Let A be the event of getting an odd number.

Then A = {_____} ∴ n (A) = _____

n (A)
P (A) = P (A) =
3 1
∴ = .
n (S) 6 2

ii. Let B be the event of getting a perfect square.

Then B = {_____} ∴ n (B) = _____

n (B)
P (B) = n (S)
∴ P (B) = 2

6
=
1

3
.

iii. Let C be the event of getting a number greater than 3.

Then C = {_____} ∴ n (C) = _____

n (A)
P (C) = P (C) =
3 1
∴ = .
n (S) 6 2
