Correct Answer - `(11!)/(.^(9)P_(4)xx6! xx 2!)`
Total number of ways of arranging 11 letters is (11)! The number of selection of 4 letters to be placed between R and E from remaining 9 is `.^(9)C_(4)`. These four letters can be permuted in 4! Ways. Now R and E can be interchanged in 2! Ways.
`underset("4 letter")ubrace((R....))underset(" 5 letter")ubrace(E")".....)`
Hence, the number of favorable ways is `.^(9)C_(4) xx 4! xx 6! xx 2!`
Therefore, the required probability is
`(11!)/(.^(9)P_(4) xx 6! xx2!)`

A abg contains 5 red and blue balls. If 3 balls are drawn at random without replacement, them the probability of getting exactly one red ball is

Probability of getting one red (R ) ball=`P_(R)cdotP_(barR)cdotP_(barR)+P_(barR)cdotP_(R)cdotP_(barR)+P_(barR)cdotP_(baR)cdotP_(R)` `=5/8cdot3/72/6+3/8cdot5/7cdot2/6+3/8cdot5/7cdot2/6+3/8cdot2/7cdot5/6` `15/(4cdot7cdot6)+15/(4cdot7cdot6)+15/(4cdot7cdot6)` `=4/56+5/56+5/56=15/56`

Let `E_(1)`=Event that first ball being red and `E_(2)`= Event that exactly tw of the three balls being red `therefore P_(E_(1))=P_(R)cdotP_(R)cdotP_(R)+P_(R)cdotP_(R)cdotP_(barR)+P_(R)cdotP_(barR)cdotP_(R)+P_(R)cdotP_(barR)cdotP_(barR)`

There are `n` letters and `n` addressed envelopes. Find the probability that all the letters are not kept in the right envelope.

Correct Answer - `1 - (1)/(n!)` Required probability is 1 - P(all letters in right envelope) = 1 - 1/n! (As there are total number of n! ways in which letters...

Equation `1+x^2+2x"sin"(cos^(-1)y)=0` is satisfied by exactly one value of `x` exactly two value of `x` exactly one value of `y` exactly two value of

Correct Answer - A::C Given equation is `x^(2) + 2x sin(cos^(-1) y) + 1 =0` Since x is real, `D ge 0`. Therefore, `4(sin(cos^(-1)y))^(2) -4 ge 0` or `(sin(cos^(-1)y))^(2) ge 1`...

If four whole numbers taken art random are multiplied together, then find the probability that the last digit in the product is 1,3,7, or 9.

There are 10 digits 0,1,2…, 9 and any of which can occur in any number at the last place, i.e., at the unit place. It is obvious that if the...

A bag contains 20 coins. If the probability that the bag contains exactly 4 biased coin is 3/4 and that of exactly 5 biased coin is 2/3, then the prob

Correct Answer - B P (4 bases coin)`=1/3` P(5 biased coin) `=1/4` Hence, the required probability is `=1/3(""^(4)C_(3)""^(16)C_(6))/(""^(20)C_(9))+2/3(""^(5)C_(4)""^(15)C_(5))/(""^(20)C_(9))(1)/(""^(11)C_(1))` `=2/33[(""^(16)C_(6)+5""^(15)C_(5))/(""^(20)C_(9))]`

Let E and F be two independent events. The probability that exactly one of them occurs is `11//25` and the probability of none of them occurring is `2

Correct Answer - A::D Let `P(E)=eand P(F)=f` `P(EuuF)-P(EnnF)=11/25` `impliese+f-2ef=11/25" "(1)` `P(barEnnbarF)=2/25` `implies(1-e)(1-f)=2/25" "(2)` From (1) and (2), `ef=12/25and e+f=7/5` Solving, we get `e=4/5,f=3/5or e=3/5,f=4/5`

if letters of the word MATHEMATICS are arranged then the probability that C come before E,E before H ,H before I and I before S

Correct Answer - C `(c )` The total number of arrangments is `(11!)/(2!2!2!)=(11!)/(8)` The number of arrangements in which `CE,H,I,S` appear in that order `"^(11)C_(5)(6!)/(2!2!2!)=(11!)/(8*5!)` `:.` Required Proability `=((11!)/(8*5!))/((11!)/(8))=(1)/(120)`
