A box contains 100 balls, numbered from 1 to 100. If three balls are selected at random and with replacement from the box, what is the probability that the sum of the three numbers on the balls selected from the box will be odd?

Correct Answer: 1\/2

P(odd) = P (even) =12 1(because there are 50 odd and 50 even numbers)

 

Sum or the three numbers can be odd only under the following 4 scenarios:

 

Odd + Odd + Odd = 12*12*12= 18

 

Odd + Even + Even = 12*12*12=18

 

Even + Odd + Even = 12*12*12=18

 

Even + Even + Odd = 12*12*12 = 18

 

Other combinations of odd and even will give even numbers. 

 

Adding up the 4 scenarios above:

 

= 18+ 18+18+ 18 = 48 = 12

Directions: Seven different boxes A, B, C, D, E, F and G of different colours viz., Orange, Pink, Purple, Yellow, Blue, Red and Green are arranged one above the other. The box at the bottom of arrangement is numbered 1, the above box is numbered 2 and so on. B is immediately above E. More than two boxes are above the Orange box. The Yellow box is immediately below A. Only one box is between the Orange box and F. G is immediately above the Red box. Only one box is between B and the Pink box. Only two boxes are between the Pink and the Green box. Only two boxes are between the Yellow box and the Orange box. The Purple box is neither at the top nor at the bottom of the arrangement.B is above Pink box. C is immediately above F. Neither C nor G is a Yellow box. G is not a Orange box. Question: Which combination represents the position of C and its colour?

A box contains 4 red balls and 6 black balls. Three balls are selected randomly from the box one after another, without replacement. The probability that the selected set contains one red ball and two black balls is

Sum of 4 consecutive even numbers is greater than three consecutive odd numbers by 81 . If the sum of the least odd and even numbers is 59 then find the sum of largest of odd and even numbers is 59 then find the sum of largest odd and even numbers.

Four red balls, four green balls and four blue balls are put in a box. Three balls are pulled our of the box at random one after another without replacement. The probability that all the three balls are red is

A box contains 21 balls numbered 1 to 21 . A ball numbered 1 to 21 . A ball is drawn and then another ball is brawn without replacement . What is the probability that both balls are even numbered?

There are 4 consecutive odd numbers (x1, x2, x3 and x4) and three consecutive even numbers (y1, y2 and y3). The average of the odd numbers is 6 less than the average of the even numbers. If the sum of the three even numbers is 16 less than the sum of the four odd numbers, what is the average of x1, x2, x3 and x4?

The box 1 contains chips numbered 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15. The box 2 contains chips numbered 6, 11, 16, 21 and 26. Two chips, one from each box, are drawn at random. The numbers written on these chips are multiplied. The probability for the product to be an even number is

A box contains 5 white balls and 3 red balls. Two balls are withdrawn from the box randomly, one after another (without replacement). The probability that the two balls withdrawn are of different colour is

A question and two statements numbered I and II are given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. A six storey building consisting of an unoccupied ground floor and above ground floor is floor no. 1, so on and topmost floor is no. 5. Different people lives in building viz. I, J, K, l and M. Who lives on the third floor? I. K lives on an even numbered floor. I lives immediately above L. J lives immediately above I. M does not live on the topmost floor. II. L lives on an odd numbered floor. I and J are immediate neighbours of each other. Similarly, K and M are immediate neighbours of each other. K does not live on an odd numbered floor.

In a bag which contains 40 balls, there are 18 red balls and some green and blue balls. If two balls are picked up from the bag without replacement, then the probability of the first ball being red and second being green is 3/26. Find the number of blue balls in the bag.
