(new syllabus)
1. In a test, an examinee either guesses or copies or knows the answer to a multiple-choice question
1
with four choices. The probability that he makes a guess is 3 and the probablity that he copies the
1 1
answer is 6. The probability that his answer is correct given that he copies it is 8 . The probability
1
that his answer is correct, given that he guesses it is 4. The probability that he knew the answer to
the question given that he correctly answered, is [MODERATE]

Solution:
Let 𝐸1 , 𝐸2 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐸3 are the events that the examinee guesses, copies and knows the answer
and E is the event that he answers correctly.

Then, 𝑃(𝐸1 ) = 3 , 𝑃(𝐸2 ) = 6

Numbers which are divisible by either 3 or 5
= 𝑛(3) + 𝑛(5) − 𝑛(3 ∩ 5)

Solution:

Total no. of arrangements of the letters of the word UNIVERSITY is 2!
No. of arrangements when both I’s are together = 9!
So, the no. of ways in which 2 I’s do not together

𝑃(𝐴̅) = then 𝑃(𝐴̅ ∩ 𝐵) is [EASY]

𝑃(𝐴 ∪ 𝐵) = 𝑃(𝐴) + 𝑃(𝐵) − 𝑃(𝐴 ∩ 𝐵);

Now, 𝑃(𝐴 ∩ 𝐵) = 𝑃(𝐵) − 𝑃(𝐴 ∩ 𝐵) = 3 − 4 = 12

6. A natural number x is chosen at random from the first 100 natural numbers. Then the probability,
100
for the equation 𝑥 + 𝑥 > 50 to be true is [DIFFICULT]

a. 20

b. 20

c. 3

d. 20

Solution:
Given equation
100
𝑥 + 𝑥 > 50 ⇒ 𝑥 2 − 50𝑥 + 100 > 0 ⇒ (𝑥 − 25)2 > 525
⇒ 𝑥 − 25 < −√(525) 𝑜𝑟 𝑥 − 25 > √(525)
⇒ 𝑥 < 25 − √(525) 𝑜𝑟 𝑥 > 25 + √(525)
As x is positive integer and √(525) = 22.91
We must have 𝑥 ≤ 2 or 𝑥 ≥ 48
Let E be the event for favourable cases and S be the sample space.
∴ 𝐸 = {1, 2, 48, 49, … 100}
∴ 𝑛(𝐸) = 55 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑛(𝑆) = 100
𝑛(𝐸) 55 11
Hence the required probability 𝑃(𝐸) = 𝑛(𝑆) = 100 = 20.

7. A natural number x is chosen at random from the first 100 natural numbers. The probability that
𝑥 2 −60𝑥+800

d. 50

Solution:
𝑥 2 −60𝑥+800 (𝑥−20)(𝑥−40)
<0⇒ <0
𝑥−30 𝑥−30

∴ 𝑥 ∈ {1,2, … … … . ,19} ∪ {31,32, … … … … . .39}

∴ Number of favourable cases = 19 + 9 = 28.
Total no. of cases = 100
28 7
∴ Required probability = 100 = 25

8. Two integers x and y are chosen with replacement out of the set
{0,1,2,3, … … … … 10}. Then the probability that |𝑥 − 𝑦| > 5 [MODERATE]
81
a. 121

30
b. 121

c. 121

20
d. 121

Solution:
Total number of selections = 11 × 11
Now |𝑥 − 𝑦| > 5 𝑐𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑙𝑦 𝑥 ≠ 5
If 𝑥 = 0, then 𝑦 > 5 ⇒ 5 favourable cases
If 𝑥 = 1, then 𝑦 > 6 ⇒ 4 favourable cases
If 𝑥 = 2, then 𝑦 > 7 ⇒ 3 favourable cases
If 𝑥 = 3, then 𝑦 > 8 ⇒ 2 favourable cases
If 𝑥 = 2, then 𝑦 > 9 ⇒ 1 favourable cases
Symmetrical cases will be obtained for 𝑥 = 6,7,8,9,10
∴ Favourable cases = 30
30
∴ Desired probability = 121

9. How many numbers of five digits can be made with at least one repeated digit? [DIFFICULT]
a. 62784
b. 61485
c. 65648
d. None of these
Solution:
0 cannot go in the ten thousand places

∴ The number of numbers which may or may not have repeated digits = 9 × 104
But the number of numbers which do not have repeated digits = 10 P5 − 9 P 4

∴ The required number of numbers having at least one repeated digit is (total number of numbers
of five digits) – (the number of numbers of five digits having no repeated digit)
= 9 × 104 – ( 10 P5 − 9 P 4 )
= 9 × 104 – 9 ∙ 8 ∙ 7 ∙ 6 (10 − 1)
= 90000 – 27216 = 62784

10. If 𝐴, 𝐵&𝐶 are mutually exclusive and exhaustive events of a random experiment such that
3 1
𝑃(𝐵) = 2 𝑃(𝐴) and 𝑃(𝐶) = 2 𝑃(𝐵), then 𝑃(𝐴 ∪ 𝐶) equals to [DIFFICULT]

d. 13
Solution:
3 1
Given, 𝑃(𝐵) = 2 𝑃(𝐴) and 𝑃(𝐶) = 2 𝑃(𝐵)
Since 𝐴, 𝐵, & 𝐶 are exclusive events.
∴ 𝑃(𝐴) + 𝑃(𝐵) + 𝑃(𝐶) = 1
3 1 3
∴ 𝑃(𝐴) + 𝑃(𝐴) + × 𝑃(𝐴) = 1
2 2 2
3 3
⇒ 𝑃(𝐴) (1 + + ) = 1

⇒ 𝑃(𝐴) = 1

⇒ 𝑃(𝐴) =

∴ 𝑃(𝐶) = 2 × 2 𝑃(𝐴) = 4 × 13 = 13
 2.0 JEE MAIN DPP: PROBABILITY
(new syllabus)
Also, 𝐴, 𝐵, &𝐶 are mutually exclusive.
∴ 𝑃(𝐴 ∩ 𝐵) = 𝑃(𝐵 ∩ 𝐶) = 𝑃(𝐶 ∩ 𝐴) = 0
∴ 𝑃(𝐴 ∪ 𝐶) = 𝑃(𝐴) + 𝑃(𝐶) − 0
