(I) Select the correct answer from the given four alternatives.

Question 1.
There are 5 girls and 2 boys, then the probability that no two boys are sitting together for a photograph is
(A) \(\frac{1}{21}\)
(B) \(\frac{4}{7}\)
(C) \(\frac{2}{7}\)
(D) \(\frac{5}{7}\)
Answer:
(D) \(\frac{5}{7}\)
Hint:
There are 5 girls and 2 boys.
They can be arranged among themselves in \({ }^{7} \mathrm{P}_{7}\) = 7! ways.
∴ Girls can be arranged among themselves in \({ }^{5} \mathrm{P}_{5}\) = 5! ways.
No two boys should sit together.
Let girls be denoted by the letter G.
– G – G – G – G – G –
There are 6 places, marked by ‘-’ where boys can sit.
∴ Boys can be arranged in
\({ }^{6} \mathrm{P}_{2}=\frac{6 !}{(6-2) !}\)
= \(\frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 !}{4 !}\)
= 30 ways.
∴ Required probability = \(\frac{5 ! \times 30}{7 !}=\frac{5 ! \times 30}{7 \times 6 \times 5 !}=\frac{5}{7}\)

Question 2.
In a jar, there are 5 black marbles and 3 green marbles. Two marbles are picked randomly one after the other without replacement. What is the possibility that both the marbles are black?
(A) \(\frac{5}{14}\)
(B) \(\frac{5}{8}\)
(C) \(\frac{5}{7}\)
(D) \(\frac{5}{16}\)
Answer:
(A) \(\frac{5}{14}\)

Question 3.
Two dice are thrown simultaneously. Then the probability of getting two numbers whose product is even is
(A) \(\frac{3}{4}\)
(B) \(\frac{1}{4}\)
(C) \(\frac{5}{7}\)
(D) \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Answer:
(A) \(\frac{3}{4}\)
Hint:
Two dice are thrown.
∴ n(S) = 36
Getting two numbers whose product is even, i.e., one of the two numbers must be even.
Let event A: Getting even number on first dice,
event B: Getting even number on second dice.
n(A) = 18, n(B) = 18, n(A ∩ B) = 9
Required probability = P(A ∩ B)
= \(\frac{n(A)+n(B)-n(A \cap B)}{n(S)}\)
= \(\frac{18+18-9}{36}\)
= \(\frac{3}{4}\)

Question 4.
In a set of 30 shirts, 17 are white and the rest are black. 4 white and 5 black shirts are tagged as ‘PARTY WEAR’. If a shirt is chosen at random from this set, the possibility of choosing a black shirt or a ‘PARTY WEAR’ shirt is
(A) \(\frac{11}{15}\)
(B) \(\frac{13}{30}\)
(C) \(\frac{9}{13}\)
(D) \(\frac{17}{30}\)
Answer:
(D) \(\frac{17}{30}\)
Hint:
17 white + 13 black = 30 shirts
4 white and 5 black are ‘PARTY WEAR’
A: Choosing a black shirt
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{{ }^{13} C_{1}}{{ }^{30} C_{1}}=\frac{13}{30}\)
B: Choosing a ‘PARTY WEAR’ shirt.
∴ P(B) = \(\frac{{ }^{9} \mathrm{C}_{1}}{{ }^{30} \mathrm{C}_{1}}=\frac{9}{30}\)
There are 5 black ‘PARTY WEAR’ shirts.
∴ P(A ∩ B) = \(\frac{{ }^{5} \mathrm{C}_{1}}{{ }^{30} \mathrm{C}_{1}}=\frac{5}{30}\)
∴ Required probability
P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)
= \(\frac{13}{30}\) + \(\frac{9}{30}\) – \(\frac{5}{30}\)
= \(\frac{17}{30}\)

Question 5.
There are 2 shelves. One shelf has 5 Physics and 3 Biology books and the other has 4 Physics and 2 Biology books. The probability of drawing a Physics book is
(A) \(\frac{9}{14}\)
(B) \(\frac{31}{48}\)
(C) \(\frac{9}{38}\)
(D) \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Answer:
(B) \(\frac{31}{48}\)
Hint:
Let event S₁: First shelve is selected,
event S₂: Second shelve is selected,
event P: Drawing a physics book.
∴ P(S₁) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) and P(S₂) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
First shelve has 5 physics and 3 biology books, i.e., total 8 books.
∴ P(P/S₁) = \(\frac{{ }^{5} C_{1}}{{ }^{8} C_{1}}=\frac{5}{8}\)
Similarly, P(P/S₂) = \(\frac{{ }^{4} C_{1}}{{ }^{6} C_{1}}=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}\)
∴ P(P) = P(S₁) . P(P/S₁) + P(S₂) . P(P/S₂)
= \(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{5}{8}+\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{3}\)
= \(\frac{31}{48}\)

Question 6.
Two friends A and B apply for a job in the same company. The chances of A getting selected is 2/5 and that of B is 4/7. The probability that both of them get selected is
(A) \(\frac{34}{35}\)
(B) \(\frac{1}{35}\)
(C) \(\frac{8}{35}\)
(D) \(\frac{27}{35}\)
Answer:
(C) \(\frac{8}{35}\)

Question 7.
The probability that a student knows the correct answer to a multiple-choice question is \(\frac{2}{3}\). If the student does not know the answer, then the student guesses the answer. The probability of the guessed answer being correct is \(\frac{1}{4}\). Given that the student has answered the question correctly, the probability that the student knows the correct answer is
(A) \(\frac{5}{6}\)
(B) \(\frac{6}{7}\)
(C) \(\frac{7}{8}\)
(D) \(\frac{8}{9}\)
Answer:
(D) \(\frac{8}{9}\)
Hint:
Let event A: Student knows the correct answer,
event A’: Student guesses the answer,
event B: Answer is correct.
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{2}{3}\), P(A’) = \(\frac{1}{3}\), P(B/A’) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
Clearly, P(B/A) = 1
Required probability = P(A/B)
= \(\frac{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A}) \cdot \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B} / \mathrm{A})}{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A}) \cdot \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B} / \mathrm{A})+\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{A}^{\prime}\right) \mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{B} / \mathrm{A}^{\prime}\right)}\)
= \(\frac{\frac{2}{3} \times 1}{\frac{2}{3} \times 1+\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{4}}\)
= \(\frac{8}{9}\)

Question 8.
The bag I contain 3 red and 4 black balls while Bag II contains 5 red and 6 black balls. One ball is drawn at random from one of the bags and it is found to be red. The probability that it was drawn from Bag II is
(A) \(\frac{33}{68}\)

(C) \(\frac{34}{67}\)
(D) \(\frac{35}{68}\)
Answer:
(D) \(\frac{35}{68}\)

Question 9.
A fair die is tossed twice. What are the odds in favour of getting 4, 5, or 6 on the first toss and 1, 2, 3, or 4 on the second toss?
(A) 1 : 3
(B) 3 : 1
(C) 1 : 2
(D) 2 : 1
Answer:
(C) 1 : 2
Hint:
A fair dice is tossed twice.
∴ n(S) = 36
A: Getting 4, 5, or 6 on the first toss and Getting 1, 2, 3, or 4 on the second toss.
∴ A = {(4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4)}
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\frac{12}{36}=\frac{1}{3}\)
∴ Required answer = P(A) : P(A’) = 1 : 2

Question 10.
The odds against an event are 5 : 3 and the odds in favour of another independent event are 7 : 5. The probability that at least one of the two events will occur is
(A) \(\frac{52}{96}\)
(B) \(\frac{71}{96}\)
(C) \(\frac{69}{96}\)
(D) \(\frac{13}{96}\)
Answer:
(B) \(\frac{71}{96}\)

(II) Solve the following.

Question 1.
The letters of the word ‘EQUATION’ are arranged in a row. Find the probability that
(i) all the vowels are together
(ii) arrangement starts with a vowel and ends with a consonant.
Solution:
The letters of the word EQUATION can be arranged in 8! ways.
∴ n(S) = 8!
There are 5 vowels and 3 consonants.
(i) A: all vowels are together we need to arrange (E, U, A, I, O), Q, T, N
Let us consider all vowels as one unit.
So, there are 4 units, which can be arranged in 4! ways.
Also, 5 vowels can be arranged among themselves in 5! ways.
∴ n(A) = 4! × 5!
Required probability = P(A)
= \(\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}\)
= \(\frac{4 ! \times 5 !}{8 !}\)
= \(\frac{1}{14}\)

(ii) B: arrangement start with a vowel and ends with a consonant.
First and last places can be filled in 5 and 3 ways respectively.
Remaining 6 letters are arranged in 6! Ways.
∴ n(B) = 5 × 3 × 6!
Required probability = P(B)
= \(\frac{n(B)}{n(S)}\)
= \(\frac{5 \times 3 \times 6 !}{8 !}\)
= \(\frac{15}{56}\)

Question 2.
There are 6 positive and 8 negative numbers. Four numbers are chosen at random, without replacement, and multiplied. Find the probability that the product is a positive number.
Solution:
Let event A: Four positive numbers are chosen,
event B: Four negative numbers are chosen,
event C: Two positive and two negative numbers are chosen.
Since four numbers are chosen without replacement,
n(A) = 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 = 360
n(B) = 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 = 1680
In event C, four numbers are to be chosen without replacement such that two numbers are positive and two numbers ate negative. This can be done in following ways:
+ + – – OR + – + – OR + – – + OR – + – + OR – – + + OR – + + –
∴ n(C) = 6 × 5 × 8 × 7 + 6 × 8 × 5 × 7 + 6 × 8 × 7 × 5 + 8 × 6 × 7 × 5 + 6 × 5 × 8 × 7 + 8 × 6 × 5 × 7
= 6 × (8 × 7 × 6 × 5)
=10080
Here, total number of numbers = 14
∴ n(S) = 14 × 13 × 12 × 11 = 24024
Since A, B, C are mutually exclusive events,
Required probability = P(A) + P(B) + P(C)

Question 3.
Ten cards numbered 1 to 10 are placed in a box, mixed up thoroughly, and then one card is drawn randomly. If it is known that the number on the drawn card is more than 3, what is the probability that it is an even number?
Solution:
S = {1, 2,…., 10}
∴ n(S) = 10
A: Number is more than 3.
A = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
∴ n(A) = 7
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\frac{7}{10}\)
B: Number is even.
B = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}
∴ A ∩ B = {4, 6, 8, 10}
∴ n(A ∩ B) = 4
∴ P(A ∩ B) = \(\frac{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})}{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{S})}=\frac{4}{10}\)
Required probability = P(B/A)
= \(\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}\)
= \(\frac{\left(\frac{4}{10}\right)}{\left(\frac{7}{10}\right)}\)
= \(\frac{4}{7}\)

Question 4.
If A, B and C are independent events, P(A ∩ B) = \(\frac{1}{2}\), P(B ∩ C) = \(\frac{1}{3}\), P(C ∩ A) = \(\frac{1}{6}\), then find P(A), P(B) and P(C).
Solution:
Since A and B are independent events,
P(A ∩ B) = P(A) . P(B)
∴ P(A) . P(B) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) ……(i)
B and C are independent events.
∴ P(B ∩ C) = P(B) . P(C)
∴ P(B) . P(C) = \(\frac{1}{3}\) ……(ii)
A and C are independent events.
∴ P(A ∩ C) = P(A) . P(C)
∴ P(A) . P(C) = \(\frac{1}{6}\) ……(iii)
Dividing (i) by (ii), we get
\(\frac{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A}) \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})}{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B}) \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{C})}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{3}}\)
P(A) = \(\frac{3}{2}\) P(C) ……(iv)
Substituting equation (iv) in (iii), we get
\(\frac{3}{2}\) P(C) . P(C) = \(\frac{1}{6}\)
[P(C)]² = \(\frac{1}{9}\)
∴ P(C) = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
Substituting P(C) = \(\frac{1}{3}\) in equation (ii), we get P(B) = 1
Substituting P(B) = 1 in equation (i), we get P(A) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Question 5.
If the letters of the word ‘REGULATIONS’ be arranged at random, what is the probability that there will be exactly 4 letters between R and E?
Solution:
There are 11 letters in the word ‘REGULATIONS’ which can be arranged among themselves in 11! ways.
∴ n(S) = 11!
Let event A: There will be exactly 4 letters between R and E.
R, E can occur at (1, 6), (2, 7), ….,(6, 11) positions. So, there are 6 possibilities.
Also, R and E can interchange their positions.
So, R, E can be arranged in 2 × 6 = 12 ways.
Remaining 9 letters can be arranged in 9! ways.
∴ n(A) = 12 × 9!
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A})}{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{S})}=\frac{12 \times 9 !}{11 !}=\frac{12 \times 9 !}{11 \times 10 \times 9 !}=\frac{6}{55}\)

Question 6.
In how many ways can the letters of the word ARRANGEMENTS be arranged?
(i) Find the chance that an arrangement chosen at random begins with the letters EE.
(ii) Find the probability that the consonants are together.
Solution:
The word ‘ARRANGEMENTS’ has 12 letters in which 2A, 2E, 2N, 2R, G, M, T, S are there.
n(S) = Total number of arrangements = \(\frac{12 !}{2 ! 2 ! 2 ! 2 !}=\frac{12 !}{(2 !)^{4}}\)
(i) A: Arrangement chosen at random begins with the letters EE.
If the first and second places are filled with EE, there are 10 letters left in which 2A, 2N, 2R, G, M, T, S are there.
∴ n(A) = \(\frac{10 !}{2 ! 2 ! 2 !}=\frac{10 !}{(2 !)^{3}}\)

(ii) B: Consonants (G, M, T, S, 2N, 2R) are together.
2A, 2E, and the group containing consonants form total 5 units. Which can be arranged in \(\frac{5 !}{2 ! 2 !}\) ways.
Also, 8 consonants can be arranged among themselves in \(\frac{8 !}{2 ! 2 !}\) ways.

Question 7.
A letter is taken at random from the letters of the word ‘ASSISTANT’ and another letter is taken at random from the letters of the word ‘STATISTICS’. Find the probability that the selected letters are the same.
Solution:
Word ASSISTANT has 2A, I, N, 3S, 2T, and word STATISTICS has A, C, 2I, 3S, 3T.
C and N are uncommon letters.
In the words ASSISTANT, there are 9 letters out of which 2 letters are ‘A’, and in the word STATISTICS, there are 10 letters, out of which 1 letter is A.
∴ Probability of choosing A from both the letters = \(\frac{{ }^{2} C_{1}}{{ }^{9} C_{1}} \times \frac{{ }^{1} C_{1}}{{ }^{10} C_{1}}=\frac{2}{9} \times \frac{1}{10}=\frac{1}{45}\)
Similarly,
Probability of choosing I from both the letters = \(\frac{{ }^{1} \mathrm{C}_{1}}{{ }^{9} \mathrm{C}_{1}} \times \frac{{ }^{2} \mathrm{C}_{1}}{{ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_{1}}=\frac{1}{9} \times \frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{45}\)
Probability of choosing S from both the letters = \(\frac{{ }^{3} \mathrm{C}_{1}}{{ }^{9} \mathrm{C}_{1}} \times \frac{{ }^{3} \mathrm{C}_{1}}{{ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_{1}}=\frac{3}{9} \times \frac{3}{10}=\frac{1}{10}\)
Probability of choosing T from both the letters = \(\frac{{ }^{2} C_{1}}{{ }^{9} C_{1}} \times \frac{{ }^{3} C_{1}}{{ }^{10} C_{1}}=\frac{2}{9} \times \frac{3}{10}=\frac{1}{15}\)
Required probability = \(\frac{1}{45}+\frac{1}{45}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{15}\) = \(\frac{19}{90}\)

Question 8.
A die is loaded in such a way that the probability of the face with j dots turning up is proportional to j for j = 1, 2,….., 6. What is the probability, in one roil of the die, that an odd number of dots will turn up?
Solution:
According to the given condition, the probability of the face with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 dots turning up is proportional to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Let k be the common ration of proportionality.
∴ The probabilities of the faces with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 dots turning up are 1k , 2k, 3k, 4k, 5k, 6k respectively.
Since sum of the probabilities = 1,
k(1 + 2+ ….. + 6) = 1
k(\(\frac{6 \times 7}{2}\)) = 1
k = \(\frac{1}{21}\)
Required probability = P(1) + P(3) + P(5)
= \(\frac{1}{21}+\frac{3}{21}+\frac{5}{21}\)
= \(\frac{9}{21}\)
= \(\frac{3}{7}\)

Question 9.
An urn contains 5 red balls and 2 green balls. A ball is drawn. If it’s green, a red ball is added to the urn, and if it’s red, a green ball is added to the urn. (The original ball is not returned to the urn). Then a second ball is drawn. What is the probability that the second ball is red?
Solution:
A: Event of drawing a red ball and placing a green ball in the urn
B: Event of drawing a green ball and placing a red ball
C: Event of drawing a red ball in the second draw
P(A) = \(\frac{5}{7}\)
P(B) = \(\frac{2}{7}\)
P(C/A) = \(\frac{4}{7}\)
P(C/B) = \(\frac{6}{7}\)
Required probability
P(C) = P(A) P(C/A) + P(B) P(C/B)
= \(\frac{5}{7} \times \frac{4}{7}+\frac{2}{7} \times \frac{6}{7}\)
= \(\frac{32}{49}\)

Question 10.
The odds against A solving a certain problem are 4 to 3 and the odds in favour of B solving the same problem are 7 to 5, find the probability that the problem will be solved.
Solution:
The odds against A solving the problems are 4 : 3.
Let P(A’) = P(A does not solve the problem) = \(\frac{4}{4+3}=\frac{4}{7}\)
So, the probability that A solves the problem = P(A) = 1 – P(A’)
= 1 – \(\frac{4}{7}\)
= \(\frac{3}{7}\)
Similarly, let P(B) = P(B solves the problem)
Since odds in favour of B solving the problem are 7 : 5.
∴ P(B) = \(\frac{7}{7+5}=\frac{7}{12}\)
Required probability
P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)
Since A and B are independent events.
∴ P(A ∩ B) = P(A) . P(B)
∴ Required probability = P(A) + P(B) – P(A) . P(B)
= \(\frac{3}{7}+\frac{7}{12}-\frac{3}{7} \times \frac{7}{12}\)
= \(\frac{16}{21}\)

Question 11.
If P(A) = P(A/B) = \(\frac{1}{5}\), P(B/A) = \(\frac{1}{3}\), then find
(i) P(A’/B)
(ii) P(B’/A’)
Solution:
Since P(A) = P(A/B) = \(\frac{1}{5}\)
P(A) = \(\frac{1}{5}\)
and \(\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}=\frac{1}{5}\)
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{1}{5}\) ……(i)
P(B) = 5 P(A ∩ B) ……..(ii)
Since P(B/A) = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}=\frac{1}{3}\)
∴ P(A) = 3 P(A ∩ B) ………(iii)

Question 12.
Let A and B be independent events with P(A) = \(\frac{1}{4}\) and P(A ∪ B) = 2P(B) – P(A). Find
(i) P(B)
(ii) P(A/B)
(iii) P(B’/A)
Solution:
A and B are independent events. .
∴ P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B)
(i) P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)
∴ P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A) × P(B)
∴ 2P(B) – P(A) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A) × P(B) ……[∵ P(A ∪ B) = 2P(B) – P(A)]
∴ 2P(B) – \(\frac{1}{4}\) = \(\frac{1}{4}\) + P(B) – \(\frac{1}{4}\) × P(B)
∴ 2P(B) – P(B) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) P(B) = \(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\)

Question 13.
Find the probability that a year selected will have 53 Wednesdays.
Solution:
A leap year comes after 3 years.
∴ The probability of a year being a leap year = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
∴ Probability of a year being a non-leap year = 1 – \(\frac{1}{4}\) = \(\frac{3}{4}\)
In a non-leap year, there are 52 weeks and one extra day, whereas a leap year has 52 weeks and 2 extra days.
∴ 53rd Wednesday’s chance in a non-leap year = \(\frac{1}{7}\)
Two extra days of a leap year can be
(Mon, Tue), (Tue, Wed), (Wed, Thu), (Thu, Fri), (Fri, Sat), (Sat, Sun), (Sun, Mon)
∴ There are 2 possibilities of 53rd Wednesday in a leap year.
∴ 53rd Wednesday’s chance in a leap year = \(\frac{2}{7}\)
Required probability = P(a non-leap year and Wednesday) + P(a leap year and Wednesday)
= \(\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{7}+\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{2}{7}\)
= \(\frac{5}{28}\)

Question 14.
The chances of P, Q and R, getting selected as principal of a college are \(\frac{2}{5}\), \(\frac{2}{5}\), \(\frac{1}{5}\) respectively. Their chances of introducing IT in the college are \(\frac{1}{2}\), \(\frac{1}{3}\), \(\frac{1}{4}\) respectively. Find the probability that
(a) IT is introduced in the college after one of them is selected as a principal.
(b) IT is introduced by Q.
Solution:
Let event P: P become principal,
event Q: Q become principal,
event R: R become principal,
event E: Subject IT is introduced.
Given, P(P) = \(\frac{2}{5}\)
P(Q) = \(\frac{2}{5}\)
P(R) = \(\frac{1}{5}\)
P(E/P) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
P(E/Q) = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
P(E/R) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
(a) Required probability
P(E) = P(P) P(E/P) + P(Q) P(E/Q) + P(R) P(E/R)
= \(\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{4}\)
= \(\frac{1}{5}+\frac{2}{15}+\frac{1}{20}\)
= \(\frac{12+8+3}{60}\)
= \(\frac{23}{60}\)

(b) Required probability = P(Q/E)
By Bayes’ theorem,
P(Q/E) = \(\frac{P(Q) P(E / Q)}{P(E)}\)
= \(\frac{\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{1}{3}}{\frac{23}{60}}\)
= \(\frac{8}{23}\)

Question 15.
Suppose that five good fuses and two defective ones have been mixed up. To find the defective fuses, we test them one-by-one, at random and without replacement What is the probability that we are lucky and find both of the defective fuses in the first two tests?
Solution:
Number of fuses = 5 + 2 = 7
Testing two fuses one-by-one at random, without replacement from 7 can be done in \({ }^{7} \mathrm{C}_{1} \times{ }^{6} \mathrm{C}_{1}\) ways.
∴ n(S) = \({ }^{7} \mathrm{C}_{1} \times{ }^{6} \mathrm{C}_{1}\) = 7 × 6 = 42
Let event A: Getting defective fuses in the first two tests without replacement.
There are two defective fuses.
∴ n(A) = \({ }^{2} \mathrm{C}_{1} \times{ }^{1} \mathrm{C}_{1}\) = 2 × 1 = 2
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\frac{2}{42}=\frac{1}{21}\)

Question 16.
For three events A, B and C, we know that A and C are independent, B and C are independent, A and B are disjoint, P(A ∪ C) = \(\frac{2}{3}\), P(B ∪ C) = \(\frac{3}{4}\), P(A ∪ B ∪ C) = \(\frac{11}{12}\). Find P(A), P(B) and P(C).
Solution:
Let P(A) = x, P(B) = y, P(C) = z
Since A, B are disjoint,
A ∩ B = Φ and A ∩ B ∩ C = Φ
∴ P(A ∩ B) = 0, P(A ∩ B ∩ C) = 0 ……(i)
Since A and C are independent,
P(A ∩ C) = P(A) P(C) = xz
Since B and C are independent,
P(B ∩ C) = P(B) P(C) = yz
P(A ∪ C) = P(A) + P(C) – P(A ∩ C)
∴ \(\frac{2}{3}\) = x + z – xz ……..(ii)
P(B ∪ C) = P(B) + P(C) – P(B ∩ C)
∴ \(\frac{3}{4}\) = y + z – yz ………(iii)
P(A ∪ B ∪ C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) – P(A ∩ B) – P(B ∩ C) – P(C ∩ A) + P(A ∩ B ∩ C)
\(\frac{11}{12}\) = x + y + z – 0 – yz – zx + 0 …… [From(i)]
= (x + z – xz) + (y + z – yz) – z
= \(\frac{2}{3}+\frac{3}{4}\) – z ……. [From (ii) and (iii)]

Question 17.
The ratio of boys to girls in a college is 3 : 2 and 3 girls out of 500 and 2 boys out of 50 of that college are good singers. A good singer is chosen. What is the probability that the chosen singer is a girl?
Solution:
Let event S: The student is a good singer,
event B: The student is a boy,
event G: The student is a girl.
Since the ratio of boys to girls is 3 : 2 and 3 girls out of 500 and 2 boys out of 50 are good singers.

Question 18.
A and B throw a die alternatively till one of them gets a 3 and wins the game. Find the respective probabilities of winning. (Assuming A begins the game).
Solution:
Since P(getting 3) = \(\frac{1}{6}\),
P(not getting 3) = 1 – \(\frac{1}{6}\) = \(\frac{5}{6}\)
In 1st throw if A gets 3, A wins
∴ P(A win) = \(\frac{1}{6}\)
In 2nd throw by B (i.e., A does not get 3),
∴ P(B wins) = \(\frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{6}\)
In 3rd throw by A, P(A wins) = \(\frac{5}{6} \times \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{6}\)
(3rd throw by A shows that B has lost in 2nd throw) and so on.

Question 19.
Consider independent trials consisting of rolling a pair of fair dice, over and over. What is the probability that a sum of 5 appears before a sum of 7?
Solution:
When two dice are thrown, the sample space is
S = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}
∴ n(S) = 36
Let event A: The sum is 5 in a trial.
A = {(2, 3), (3, 2), (1, 4), (4, 1)}
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{4}{36}=\frac{1}{9}\)
Let event B: The sum is 7 in a trial.
B = {(2, 5), (5, 2), (3, 4), (4, 3), (1, 6), (6, 1)}
∴ P(B) = \(\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}\)
Let event C: Neither sum is 5 nor 7.
P(C) = 1 – P(A) – P(B)
= 1 – \(\frac{1}{9}\) – \(\frac{1}{6}\)
= \(\frac{26}{36}\)
Let the sum of 5 appear in the nth trial for the first time and the sum of 7 has not occurred in the first (n – 1) trials.

Question 20.
A machine produces parts that are either good (90%), slightly defective (2%), or obviously defective (8%). Produced parts get passed through an automatic inspection machine, which is able to detect any part that is obviously defective and discard it. What is the probability that the quality of the parts that make it through the inspection machine and get shipped?
Solution:
Let event G: The event that machine produces a good part,
event S: The event that machine produces a slightly defective part,
event D: The event that machine produces an obviously defective part.

Question 21.
Given three identical boxes, I, II, and III, each containing two coins. In box I, both coins are gold coins, in box II, both are silver coins and in box III, there is one gold and one silver coin. A person chooses a box at random and takes out a coin. If the coin is of gold, what is the probability that the other coin in the box is also of gold?
Solution:
Let event B₁: Select box I having two gold coins.
event B₂: Selecting box II having two silver coins,
event B₃: Selecting box III having one silver and one gold coin,
event G: Coin is gold.

To find the probability that the other can in the box is also gold. Which is possible only when it is drawn from the box I.
∴ Required probability = P(B₁/G)
By Bayes’ theorem,

Question 22.
In a factory which manufactures bulbs, machines A, B, and C manufacture respectively 25%, 35% and 40% of the bulbs. Of their outputs, 5, 4, and 2 percent are respectively defective bulbs. A bulb is drawn at random from the product and is found to be defective. What is the probability that it is manufactured by machine B?
Solution:
Let event A: Bulb manufactured by machine A
event B: Bulb manufactured by machine B
event C: Bulb manufactured by machine C
event D: Bulb defective
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{25}{100}\)
P(B) = \(\frac{35}{100}\)
P(C) = \(\frac{40}{100}\)
Machines A, B and C manufacture respectively 25%, 35% and 40% of the bulbs.
Of their outputs, 5, 4, and 2 percent are respectively defective bulbs.

Required probability = P(B/D)
By Bayes’ theorem,

Question 23.
A family has two children. One of them is chosen at random and found that the child is a girl. Find the probability that
(i) both the children are girls.
(ii) both the children are girls given that at least one of them is a girl.
Solution:
A family has two children.
∴ Sample space S = {BB, BG, GB, GG}
(i) A: First child is a girl.
∴ A = {GB, GG}
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}\)
B: Second child is a girl.
∴ B = {BG, GG}
∴ A ∩ B = {GG}
∴ P(A ∩ B) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
Required probability
P(B/A) = \(\frac{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})}{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})}=\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{1}{2}\)

(ii) A: At least one of the children is a girl.
∴ A = {GG, GB, BG}
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{3}{4}\)
B: both children are girls.
B = {GG}
∴ P(B) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
Also, A ∩ B = B

Question 1.
If odds in favour of X solving a problem are 4 : 3 and odds against Y solving the same problem are 2 : 3. Find the probability of:
(i) X solving the problem
(ii) Y solving the problem
Solution:
(i) Odds in favour of X solving a problem are 4 : 3.
∴ The probability of X solving the problem is
P(X) = \(\frac{4}{4+3}=\frac{4}{7}\)

(ii) Odds against Y solving the problem are 2 : 3.
∴ The probability of Y solving the problem is
P(Y) = 1 – P(Y’)
= 1 – \(\frac{2}{2+3}\)
= 1 – \(\frac{2}{5}\)
= \(\frac{3}{5}\)

Question 2.
The odds against John solving a problem are 4 to 3 and the odds in favour of Rafi solving the same problem are 7 to 5. What is the chance that the problem is solved when both of them try it?
Solution:
The odds against John solving a problem are 4 to 3.
Let event P(A’) = P (John does not solve the problem)
= \(\frac{4}{4+3}\)
= \(\frac{4}{7}\)
So, the probability that John solves the problem
P(A) = 1 – P(A’) = 1 – \(\frac{4}{7}\) = \(\frac{3}{7}\)
Similarly, Let P(B) = P(Rafi solves the problem)
Since the odds in favour of Rafi solving the problem are 7 to 5,
P(B) = \(\frac{7}{7+5}\) = \(\frac{7}{12}\)
Required probability
P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)
Since A, B are independent events,
P(A ∩ B) = P(A) . P(B)
∴ Required probability = P(A) + P(B) – P(A) . P(B)

Question 3.
The odds against student X solving a statistics problem are 8 : 6 and odds in favour of student Y solving the same problem are 14 : 16. Find the chance that
(i) the problem will be solved if they try it independently.
(ii) neither of them solves the problem.
Solution:
The odds against X solving a problem are 8 : 6.
Let P(X’) = P(X does not solve the problem) = \(\frac{8}{8+6}\) = \(\frac{8}{14}\)
So, the probability that X solves the problem
P(X) = 1 – P(X’) = 1 – \(\frac{8}{14}\) = \(\frac{6}{14}\)
Similarly, let P(Y) = P(Y solves the problem)
Since odds in favour of Y solving the problem are 14 : 16,
P(Y) = \(\frac{14}{14+16}=\frac{14}{30}\)
So, the probability that Y does not solve the problem
P(Y’) = 1 – P(Y)
= 1 – \(\frac{14}{30}\)
= \(\frac{16}{30}\)
(i) Required probability
P(X ∪ Y) = P(X) + P(Y) – P(X ∩ Y)
Since X and Y are independent events,
P(X ∩ Y) = P(X) . P(Y)
∴ Required probability = P(X) + P(Y) – P(X) . P(Y)
= \(\frac{6}{14}+\frac{14}{30}-\frac{6}{14} \times \frac{14}{30}\)
= \(\frac{73}{105}\)

(ii) Required probability = P(X’ ∩ Y’)
Since X and Y are independent events, X’ and Y’ are also independent events.
∴ Required probability = P(X’) . P(Y’)
= \(\frac{8}{14} \times \frac{16}{30}\)
= \(\frac{32}{105}\)

Question 4.
The odds against a husband who is 60 years old, living till he is 85 are 7 : 5. The odds against his wife who is now 56, living till she is 81 are 5 : 3. Find the probability that
(i) at least one of them will be alive 25 years hence.
(ii) exactly one of them will be alive 25 years hence.
Solution:
The odds against her husband living till he is 85 are 7 : 5.
Let P(H’) = P(husband dies before he is 85) = \(\frac{7}{7+5}=\frac{7}{12}\)
So, the probability that the husband would be alive till age 85
P(H) = 1 – P(H’) = 1 – \(\frac{7}{12}\) = \(\frac{5}{12}\)
Similarly, P(W’) = P(Wife dies before she is 81)
Since the odds against wife will be alive till she is 81 are 5 : 3.
∴ P(W’) = \(\frac{5}{5+3}=\frac{5}{8}\)
So, the probability that the wife would be alive till age 81
P(W) = 1 – P(W’) = 1 – \(\frac{5}{8}\) = \(\frac{3}{8}\)
(i) Required probability
P(H ∪ W) = P(H) + P(W) – P(H ∩ W)
Since H and W are independent events,
P(H ∩ W) = P(H) . P(W)
∴ Required probability = P(H) + P(W) – P(H) . P(W)
= \(\frac{5}{12}+\frac{3}{8}-\frac{5}{12} \times \frac{3}{8}\)
= \(\frac{40+36-15}{96}\)
= \(\frac{61}{96}\)

(ii) Required probability = P(H ∩ W’) + P(H’ ∩ W)
Since H and W are independent events, H’ and W’ are also independent events.
∴ Required probability = P(H) . P(W’) + P(H’) . P(W)
= \(\frac{5}{12} \times \frac{5}{8}+\frac{7}{12} \times \frac{3}{8}\)
= \(\frac{25+21}{96}\)
= \(\frac{46}{96}\)
= \(\frac{23}{48}\)

Question 5.
There are three events A, B, and C, one of which must, and only one can happen. The odds against event A are 7 : 4 and odds against event B are 5 : 3. Find the odds against event C.
Solution:
Since odds against A are 7 : 4,
P(A) = \(\frac{4}{7+4}=\frac{4}{11}\)
Since odds against B are 5 : 3,
P(B) = \(\frac{3}{5+3}=\frac{3}{8}\)
Since only one of the events A, B and C can happen,
P(A) + P(B) + P(C) = 1
\(\frac{4}{11}\) + \(\frac{3}{8}\) + P(C) = 1
∴ P(C) = 1 – (\(\frac{4}{11}\) + \(\frac{3}{8}\))
= 1 – \(\left(\frac{32+33}{88}\right)\)
= \(\frac{23}{88}\)
∴ P(C’) = 1 – P(C)
= 1 – \(\frac{23}{88}\)
= \(\frac{65}{88}\)
∴ Odds against the event C are P(C’) : P(C)
= \(\frac{65}{88}\) : \(\frac{23}{88}\)
= 65 : 23

Question 6.
In a single toss of a fair die, what are the odds against the event that number 3 or 4 turns up?
Solution:
When a fair die is tossed, the sample space is
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
∴ n(S) = 6
Let event A: 3 or 4 turns up.
∴ A = {3, 4}
∴ n(A) = 2
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}\) = \(\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}\)
P(A’) = 1 – P(A) = 1 – \(\frac{1}{3}\) = \(\frac{2}{3}\)
∴ Odds against the event A are P(A’) : P(A)
= \(\frac{2}{3}: \frac{1}{3}\)
= 2 : 1

Question 7.
The odds in favour of A winning a game of chess against B are 3 : 2. If three games are to be played, what are the odds in favour of A’s winning at least two games out of the three?
Solution:
Let event A: A wins the game and event B: B wins the game.
Since the odds in favour of A winning a game against B are 3 : 2,
the probability of occurrence of event A and B is given by
P(A) = \(\frac{3}{3+2}=\frac{3}{5}\) and P(B) = \(\frac{2}{3+2}=\frac{2}{5}\)
Let event E: A wins at least two games out of three games.
∴ P(E) = P(A) . P(A) . P(B) + P(A) . P(B) . P(A) + P(B) . P(A) . P(A) + P(A) . P(A) . P(A)

∴ Odds in favour of A’s winning at least two games out of three are P(E) : P(E’)
= \(\frac{81}{125}: \frac{44}{125}\)
= 81 : 44

Question 1.
There are three bags, each containing 100 marbles. Bag 1 has 75 red and 25 blue marbles. Bag 2 has 60 red and 40 blue marbles and Bag 3 has 45 red and 55 blue marbles. One of the bags is chosen at random and marble is picked from the chosen bag. What is the probability that the chosen marble is red?
Solution:
Let event R: Chosen marble is red.
Let event B_i: ith bag is chosen.
∴ P(B_i) = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
If Bag 1 is chosen, it has 75 red and 25 blue marbles.
∴ Probability that the chosen marble is red under the condition that it is from Bag 1 = P(R/B₁)
= \(\frac{{ }^{75} \mathrm{C}_{1}}{{ }^{100} \mathrm{C}_{1}}\)
= \(\frac{75}{100}\)
= 0.75
Similarly we get,
P(R/B₂) = \(\frac{60}{100}\) = 0.60
P(R/B₃) = \(\frac{45}{100}\) = 0.45
∴ Required probability
P(R) = P(B₁) P(R/B₁) + P(B₂) P(R/B₂) + P(B₃) P(R/B₃)
= \(\frac{1}{3}\)(0.75) + \(\frac{1}{3}\)(0.60) + \(\frac{1}{3}\)(0.45)
= \(\frac{1}{3}\)(1.8)
= 0.60

Question 2.
A box contains 2 blue and 3 pink balls and another box contains 4 blue and 5 pink balls. One ball is drawn at random from one of the two boxes and it is found to be pink. Find the probability that it was drawn from
(i) first box
(ii) second box
Solution:
Let event A₁: The ball is drawn from 1st box and
event A₂: The ball is drawn from the 2nd box.
∴ P(A₁) = \(\frac{1}{2}\), P(A₂) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Let event B: The ball drawn is pink.
There are 5 balls in the 1st box, of which 3 are pink.
∴ P(B/A₁) = \(\frac{3}{5}\)
There are 9 balls in the 2nd box, of which 5 are pink.
∴ P(B/A₂) = \(\frac{5}{9}\)
(i) By Bayes’ theorem,
the probability that a pink ball is drawn from the first box, is given by

(ii) By Bayes’ theorem,
the probability that a pink ball is drawn from the second box, is given by

Question 3.
There is a working women’s hostel in a town, where 75% are from neighbouring town. The rest all are from the same town. 48% of women who hail from the same town are graduates and 83% of the women who have come from the neighbouring town are also graduates. Find the probability that a woman selected at random is a graduate from the same town.
Solution:
Let the total number of women be 100.
∴ n(S) = 100
Let event N: Women are from neighbouring town,
event W: Women are from same town and
event G: Women are graduates.
Number of women from neighbouring town,
n(N) = 75
Number of women from same town,
n(W) = 25
∴ P(N) = \(\frac{n(N)}{n(S)}=\frac{75}{100}\) and
P(W) = \(\frac{n(W)}{n(S)}=\frac{25}{100}\)
P(G/N), P(G/W) represent probabilities that woman is graduate given that she is from neighbouring town or same town respectively.
∴ P(G/N) = \(\frac{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{G} / \mathrm{N})}{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{S})}=\frac{83}{100}\) and
P(G/W) = \(\frac{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{G} / \mathrm{W})}{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{S})}=\frac{48}{100}\)
By Bayes’ theorem, the probability that a women selected at random is a graduate from the same town, is given by

Question 4.
If E₁ and E₂ are equally likely, mutually exclusive and exhaustive events and P(A/E₁) = 0.2, P(A/E₂) = 0.3. Find P(E₁/A).
Solution:
E₁ and E₂ are equally likely, mutually exclusive and exhaustive events.
∴ P(E₁) = P(E₂) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Question 5.
Jar I contains 5 white and 7 black balls. Jar II contains 3 white and 12 black balls. A fair coin is flipped; if it is Head, a ball is drawn from Jar I, and if it is Tail, a ball is drawn from Jar II. Suppose that this experiment is done and a white ball was drawn. What is the probability that this ball was in fact taken from Jar II?
Solution:
Let event J₁: Ball drawn from jar I,
event J₂: Ball drawn from jar II.
P(J₁) = P(head) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
P(J₂) = P(tail) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Let event W: Ball drawn is white.
In Jar I, there are total 12 balls, out of which 5 balls are white.
∴ Probability that the ball drawn is white under the condtion that it is drawn from Jar I.
P(W/J₁) = \(\frac{{ }^{5} C_{1}}{{ }^{12} C_{1}}=\frac{5}{12}\)
Similarly, P(W/J₂) = \(\frac{{ }^{3} C_{1}}{{ }^{15} C_{1}}=\frac{3}{15}=\frac{1}{5}\)
Required probability = P(J₂/W)
By Bayes’ theorem,

Question 6.
A diagnostic test has a probability 0.95 of giving a positive result when applied to a person suffering from a certain disease, and a probability 0.10 of giving a (false) positive result when applied to a non-sufferer. It is estimated that 0.5% of the population are sufferers. Suppose that the test is now administered to a person about whom we have no relevant information relating to the disease (apart from the fact that he/she comes from this population). Calculate the probability that:
(i) given a positive result, the person is a sufferer.
(ii) given a negative result, the person is a non-sufferer.
Solution:
Let event T: Test positive
event S: Sufferer
P(S) = \(\frac{0.5}{100}\) = 0.005
∴ P(S’) = 1 – P(S) = 1 – 0.005 = 0.995
Since a probability of getting a positive result when applied to a person suffering from a disease is 0.95 and probability of getting positive result when applied to a non sufferer is 0.10.
∴ P(T/S) = 0.95 and P(T/S’) = 0.10
∴ P(T) = P(S) P(T/S) + P(S’) P(T/S’)
= 0.005 × 0.95 + 0.995 × 0.10
= 0.10425
∴ P(T’) = 1 – P(T) = 1 – 0.10425 = 0.8958
(i) Required probability = P(S/T)
By Bayes’ theorem,

(ii) P(T’/S’) = 1 – 0.1 = 0.9
Required probability = P(S’/T’)
By Bayes’ theorem

Question 7.
A doctor is called to see a sick child. The doctor has prior information that 80% of the sick children in that area have the flu, while the other 20% are sick with measles. Assume that there is no other disease in that area. A well-known symptom of measles is rash. From the past records, it is known that, chances of having rashes given that sick child is suffering from measles is 0.95. However occasionally children with flu also develop rash, whose chance are 0.08. Upon examining the child, the doctor finds a rash. What is the probability that child is suffering from measles?
Solution:
Let the total number of sick children be 100.
∴ n(S) = 100.
Let event A: The child is sick with flu,
event B: The child is sick with measles,
event C: The child is sick with rash.
∴ n(A) = 80 and n(B) = 20
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\frac{80}{100}=\frac{4}{5}\)
P(B) = \(\frac{n(B)}{n(S)}=\frac{20}{100}=\frac{1}{5}\)
Since the chances of having rashes, if the child is suffering from measles is 0.95 and the chances of having rashes if the child has flu is 0.08,
P(C/B) = 0.95 = \(\frac{95}{100}\) and
P(C/A) = 0.08 = \(\frac{8}{100}\)
Required probability = P(B/C)
By Bayes’ theorem,

Question 8.
2% of the population have a certain blood disease of a serious form: 10% have it in a mild form; and 88% don’t have it at all. A new blood test is developed; the probability of testing positive is \(\frac{9}{10}\) if the subject has the
serious form, \(\frac{6}{10}\) if the subject has the mild form, and \(\frac{1}{10}\) if the subject doesn’t have the disease. A subject is tested positive. What is the probability that the subject has serious form of the disease?
Solution:
Let event A₁: Disease in serious form,
event A₂: Disease in mild form,
event A₃: Subject does not have disease,
event B: Subject tests positive.
P(A₁) = 0.02, P(A₂) = 0.1, P(A₃) = 0.88
The probability of testing positive is \(\frac{9}{10}\) if the subject has the serious form, \(\frac{6}{10}\) if the subject has the mild form, and \(\frac{1}{10}\) if the subject doesn’t have the disease.
∴ P(B/A₁) = 0.9, P(B/A₂) = 0.6, P(B/A₃) = 0.1
P(B) = P(A₁) P(B/A₁) + P(A₂) P(B/A₂) + P(A₃) P(B/A₃)
= 0.02 × 0.9 + 0.1 × 0.6 + 0.88 × 0.1
= 0.166
Required probability = P(A₁/B)
By Baye’s theorem

Question 9.
A box contains three coins: two fair coins and one fake two-headed coin. A coin is picked randomly from the box and tossed.
(i) What is the probability that it lands head up?
(ii) If happens to be head, what is the probability that it is the two-headed coin?
Solution:
Let event A: Fair coin is tossed,
event B: Fake coin is tossed
and event H: Head occur.
Clearly, a fair coin has one head.
∴ Probability that head occur under the condition that the fair coin is tossed = P(H/A) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Fake coin has two heads.
∴ Probability that head occur under the condition that the fake coin is tossed = P(H/B) = 1
n(A) = 2, n(B) = 1, n(S) = 3
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\frac{2}{3}\)
P(B) = \(\frac{n(B)}{n(S)}=\frac{1}{3}\)
(i) Required probability
P(H) = P(A) P(H/A) + P(B) P(H/B)
= \(\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3} \times 1\)
= \(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}\)
= \(\frac{2}{3}\)

(ii) Required probability = P(B/H)
By Baye’s theorem

Question 10.
There are three social media groups on a mobile: Group I, Group II and Group III. The probabilities that Group I, Group II and Group III sending the messages on sports are \(\frac{2}{5}\), \(\frac{1}{2}\) and \(\frac{2}{3}\) respectively. The probability of opening the messages by Group I, Group II and Group III are \(\frac{1}{2}\), \(\frac{1}{4}\) and \(\frac{1}{4}\) respectively. Randomly one of the messages is opened and found a message on sports. What is the probability that the message was from Group III.
Solution:
Let event A: Message sent on sports by group I,
event B: Message sent on sports by group II,
event C: Message sent on sports by group III,
event E: Message is opened.
Given that the probabilities that Group I, Group II and Group III sending the messages on sports are \(\frac{2}{5}\), \(\frac{1}{2}\) and \(\frac{2}{3}\) respectively and the probability of opening the messages by Group I, Group II and Group III are \(\frac{1}{2}\), \(\frac{1}{4}\) and \(\frac{1}{4}\) respectively.
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{2}{5}\)
P(B) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
P(C) = \(\frac{2}{3}\)
P(E/A) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
P(E/B) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
P(E/C) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
Required probability = P(C/E)
By Baye’s theorem

Question 1.
A bag contains 3 red marbles and 4 blue marbles. Two marbles are drawn at random without replacement. If the first marble drawn is red, what is the probability that the second marble is blue?
Solution:
Total number of marbles = 3 + 4 = 7
Let event A: The first marble drawn is red.
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{{ }^{3} \mathrm{C}_{1}}{{ }^{7} \mathrm{C}_{1}}=\frac{3}{7}\)
Let event B: The second marble drawn is blue.
Since the first red marble is not replaced in the bag, we now have 6 marbles out of which 4 are blue.
∴ Probability that the second marble is blue under the condition that the first red marble is not replaced in the bag = P(B/A) = \(\frac{{ }^{4} \mathrm{C}_{1}}{{ }^{6} \mathrm{C}_{1}}=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}\)
∴ Required probability = P(A ∩ B) = P(B/A) . P(A)
= \(\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{7}\)
= \(\frac{2}{7}\)

Alternate Method:
Total number of marbles = 3 + 4 = 7
Two marbles are drawn at random without replacement.
∴ n(S) = \({ }^{7} \mathrm{C}_{1} \times{ }^{6} \mathrm{C}_{1}\) = 7 × 6 = 42
Let event A: The first marble is red and second marble is blue.
First red marble can be drawn from 3 red marbles in \({ }^{3} \mathrm{C}_{1}\) ways and second blue marble can be drawn from 4 blue marbles in \({ }^{4} \mathrm{C}_{1}\) ways.
∴ n(A) = \({ }^{3} \mathrm{C}_{1} \times{ }^{4} \mathrm{C}_{1}\) = 3 × 4 = 12
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\frac{12}{42}=\frac{2}{7}\)

Question 2.
A box contains 5 green pencils and 7 yellow pencils. Two pencils are chosen at random from the box without replacement. What is the probability that both are yellow?
Solution:
Total number of pencils = 5 + 7 = 12
Let event A: The first pencil chosen is yellow.
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{{ }^{7} \mathrm{C}_{1}}{{ }^{12} \mathrm{C}_{1}}=\frac{7}{12}\)
Let event B: The second pencil chosen is yellow.
Since the first yellow pencil is not replaced in the box, we now have 11 pencils, out of which 6 are yellow.
∴ Probability that the second pencil is yellow under the condition that the first yellow pencil is not replaced in the box = P(B/A)
= \(\frac{{ }^{6} C_{1}}{{ }^{11} C_{1}}\)
= \(\frac{6}{11}\)
Required probability = P(A ∩ B)
= P(B/A) . P(A)
= \(\frac{6}{11} \times \frac{7}{12}\)
= \(\frac{7}{22}\)

Question 3.
In a sample of 40 vehicles, 18 are red, 6 are trucks, of which 2 are red. Suppose that a randomly selected vehicle is red. What is the probability it is a truck?
Solution:
One vehicle is selected from 40 vehicles.
Let event A: The selected vehicle is red.
There are total of 18 red vehicles.
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{{ }^{18} \mathrm{C}_{1}}{{ }^{40} \mathrm{C}_{1}}=\frac{18}{40}=\frac{9}{20}\)
Let event B: The selected vehicle is a truck.
There are total of 6 trucks.
Since 2 trucks are red, they are common between A and B.
∴ P(A ∩ B) = \(\frac{{ }^{2} \mathrm{C}_{1}}{{ }^{40} \mathrm{C}_{1}}=\frac{2}{40}=\frac{1}{20}\)
∴ Probability that the selected vehicle is a truck under the condition that it is red = P(B/A)
= \(\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}\)
= \(\frac{\frac{1}{20}}{\frac{9}{20}}\)
= \(\frac{1}{9}\)

Question 4.
From a pack of well-shuffled cards, two cards are drawn at random. Find the probability that both the cards are diamonds when
(i) the first card drawn is kept aside.
(ii) the first card drawn is replaced in the pack.
Solution:
In a pack of 52 cards, there are 13 diamond cards.
Let event A: The first card drawn is a diamond card.
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{{ }^{13} \mathrm{C}_{1}}{{ }^{52} \mathrm{C}_{1}}=\frac{13}{52}=\frac{1}{4}\)
(i) Let event B: The second card drawn is a diamond card.
Since the first diamond card is kept aside, we now have 51 cards, out of which 12 are diamond cards.
Probability that the second card is a diamond card under the condition that the first diamond card is kept aside in the pack = P(B/A) = \(\frac{{ }^{12} \mathrm{C}_{1}}{{ }^{51} \mathrm{C}_{1}}=\frac{12}{51}=\frac{4}{17}\)
∴ Required probability = P(A ∩ B)
= P(B/A) . P(A)
= \(\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{4}{17}\)
= \(\frac{1}{17}\)

(ii) Let event B: The second card drawn is a diamond card.
Since the first diamond card is replaced in the pack, we now again have 52 cards, out of which 13 are diamond cards.
∴ Probability that the second card is a diamond card under the condition that the first diamond card is replaced in the pack = P(B/A) = \(\frac{{ }^{13} \mathrm{C}_{1}}{{ }^{52} \mathrm{C}_{1}}=\frac{13}{52}=\frac{1}{4}\)
Required probability = P(A ∩ B)
= P(B/A) . P(A)
= \(\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{4}\)
= \(\frac{1}{16}\)

Question 5.
A, B, and C try to hit a target simultaneously but independently. Their respective probabilities of hitting the target are \(\frac{3}{4}\), \(\frac{1}{2}\) and \(\frac{5}{8}\). Find the probability that the target
(a) is hit exactly by one of them.
(b) is not hit by any one of them.
(c) is hit.
(d) is exactly hit by two of them.
Solution:
Let event A: A can hit the target,
event B: B can hit the target,
event C: C can hit the target.

Since A, B, C are independent events,
A’, B’, C’ are also independent events.
(a) Let event W: Target is hit exactly by one of them.

(b) Let event X: Target is not hit by any one of them.
∴ P(X) = P(A’ ∩ B’ ∩ C’)
= P(A’) P(B’) P(C’)
= \(\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{8}\)
= \(\frac{3}{64}\)

(c) Let event Y: Target is hit.
∴ P(Y) = 1 – P(target is not hit by any one of them)
= 1 – \(\frac{3}{64}\)
= \(\frac{61}{64}\)

(d) Let event Z: Target is hit by exactly two of them.

Question 6.
The probability that a student X solves a problem in dynamics is \(\frac{2}{5}\) and the probability that student Y solves the same problem is \(\frac{1}{4}\). What is the probability that
(i) the problem is not solved?
(ii) the problem is solved?
(iii) the problem is solved exactly by one of them?
Solution:
Let event A: Student X solves the problem in dynamics,
event B: Student Y solves the problem in dynamics.
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{2}{5}\), P(B) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
∴ P(A’) = 1 – P(A) = 1 – \(\frac{2}{5}\) = \(\frac{3}{5}\)
P(B’) = 1 – P(B) = 1 – \(\frac{1}{4}\) = \(\frac{3}{4}\)
Since A and B are independent events,
A’ and B’ are also independent events.
(i) Let event C: Problem is not solved.
∴ P(C) = P(A’ ∩ B’)
= P(A’) . P(B’)
= \(\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{3}{4}\)
= \(\frac{9}{20}\)

(ii) Let event D: Problem is solved.
Problem can be solved if at least one of the two students solves the problem.
∴ P(D) = P(at least one student solves the problem)
= 1 – P(no student solves the problem)
= 1 – P(A’ ∩ B’)
= 1 – P(A’) P(B’)
= 1 – \(\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{3}{4}\)
= 1 – \(\frac{9}{20}\)
= \(\frac{11}{20}\)

(iii) Let event E: The problem is solved exactly by one of them.
∴ P(E) = P(A’ ∩ B) ∪ P(A ∩ B’)
= P(A’) . P(B) + P(A) . P(B’)
= \(\left(\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{1}{4}\right)+\left(\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{3}{4}\right)\)
= \(\frac{3}{20}+\frac{6}{20}\)
= \(\frac{9}{20}\)

Question 7.
A speaks truth in 80% of the cases and B speaks truth in 60% of the cases. Find the probability that they contradict each other in narrating an incident.
Solution:
Let event A : A speaks the truth,
event B : B speaks the truth.
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{80}{100}=\frac{4}{5}\)
and P(B) = \(\frac{60}{100}=\frac{3}{5}\)
P(A’) = 1 – P(A) = 1 – \(\frac{4}{5}\) = \(\frac{1}{5}\)
and P(B’) = 1 – P(B) = 1 – \(\frac{3}{5}\) = \(\frac{2}{5}\)
∴ P(A and B contradict each other) = P(A speaks the truth and B lies) + P (A lies and B speaks the truth)
= P(A ∩ B’) + P(A’ ∩ B)
= P(A) P(B’) + P(A’) P(B)
= \(\left(\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{2}{5}\right)+\left(\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{3}{5}\right)\)
= \(\frac{8}{25}+\frac{3}{25}\)
= \(\frac{11}{25}\)

Question 8.
Two hundred patients who had either Eye surgery or Throat surgery were asked whether they were satisfied or unsatisfied regarding the result of their surgery. The following table summarizes their response.

If one person from the 200 patients is selected at random, determine the probability
(a) that the person was satisfied given that the person had Throat surgery.
(b) that person was unsatisfied given that the person had eye surgery.
(c) the person had Throat surgery given that the person was unsatisfied.
Solution:
(a) Let event A: The patient was satisfied,
event B: The patient had throat surgery.
Given, n(S) = 200
n(A ∩ B) = 70
∴ P(A ∩ B) = \(\frac{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})}{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{S})}=\frac{70}{200}\)
n(B) = 95
∴ P(B) = \(\frac{n(B)}{n(S)}=\frac{95}{200}\)
∴ Required probability = P(A / B)
= \(\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}\)
= \(\frac{\left(\frac{70}{200}\right)}{\left(\frac{95}{200}\right)}\)
= \(\frac{70}{95}\)
= \(\frac{14}{19}\)

Check:
Reduce the sample space to the set of throat patients only.
n(S) = 95
Let E : Patient had satisfactory throat surgery.
n(E) = 70
∴ P(E) = \(\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}=\frac{70}{95}=\frac{14}{19}\)

(b) Let event C : The patient was unsatisfied,
event D : The patient had a eye surgery.
Given, n(S) = 200
n(C ∩ D) = 15
∴ P(C ∩ D) = \(\frac{n(C \cap D)}{n(S)}=\frac{15}{200}\)
n(D) = 105
∴ P(D) = \(\frac{105}{200}\)
Required probability = P(C / D)
= \(\frac{P(C \cap D)}{P(D)}\)
= \(\frac{\left(\frac{15}{200}\right)}{\left(\frac{105}{200}\right)}\)
= \(\frac{1}{7}\)

(c) Let event F : The patient had a throat surgery,
event G : The patient was unsatisfied.
Given, n(S) = 200
n(F ∩ G) = 25
∴ P(F ∩ G) = \(\frac{n(F \cap G)}{n(S)}=\frac{25}{200}\)
n(G) = 40
∴ P(G) = \(\frac{n(G)}{n(S)}=\frac{40}{200}\)
∴ Required probability = P(F / G)
= \(\frac{P(F \cap G)}{P(G)}\)
= \(\frac{\left(\frac{25}{200}\right)}{\left(\frac{40}{200}\right)}\)
= \(\frac{5}{8}\)

Question 9.
Two dice are thrown together. Let A be the event ‘getting 6 on the first die’ and B be the event ‘getting 2 on the second die’. Are events A and B independent?
Solution:
When two dice are thrown, the sample space is
S = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}
∴ n(S) = 36
Let event A: Getting 6 on the first die.
∴ A = {(6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}
∴ n(A) = 6
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}\)
Let event B : Gettting 2 on the second die.
∴ B = {(1, 2), (2, 2), (3, 2), (4, 2), (5, 2), (6, 2)}
∴ n(B) = 6
∴ P(B) = \(\frac{n(B)}{n(S)}=\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}\)
Now, A ∩ B = {(6, 2)}
∴ n(A ∩ B) = 1
∴ P(A ∩ B) = \(\frac{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})}{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{S})}=\frac{1}{36}\) …..(i)
P(A) × P(B) = \(\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{36}\) ……..(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B)
∴ A and B are independent events.

Question 10.
The probability that a man who is 45 years old will be alive till he becomes 70 is \(\frac{5}{12}\). The probability that his wife who is 40 years old will be alive till she becomes 65 is \(\frac{3}{8}\). What is the probability that, 25 years hence,
(a) the couple will be alive?
(b) exactly one of them will be alive?
(c) none of them will be alive?
(d) at least one of them will be alive?
Solution:
Let event A: The man will be alive till 70.
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{5}{12}\)
Let event B: The wife will be alive till 65.
∴ P(B) = \(\frac{3}{8}\)
∴ P(A’) = 1 – P(A) = 1 – \(\frac{5}{12}\) = \(\frac{7}{12}\)
P(B’) = 1 – P(B) = 1 – \(\frac{3}{8}\) = \(\frac{5}{8}\)
Since A and B are independent events,
A’ and B’ are also independent events.
(a) Let event C : Both man and his wife will be alive.
∴ P(C) = P(A ∩ B) = P(A) . P(B)
= \(\frac{5}{12} \times \frac{3}{8}\)
= \(\frac{5}{32}\)

(b) Let event D: Exactly one of them will be alive.
∴ P(D) = P(A’ ∩ B) + P(A ∩ B’)
= P(A’) . P(B) + P(A) . P(B’)
= \(\left(\frac{7}{12} \times \frac{3}{8}\right)+\left(\frac{5}{12} \times \frac{5}{8}\right)\)
= \(\frac{21}{96}+\frac{25}{96}\)
= \(\frac{23}{48}\)

(c) Let event E: None of them will be alive.
∴ P(E) = P(A’ ∩ B’) = P(A’) . P(B’)
= \(\frac{7}{12} \times \frac{5}{8}\)
= \(\frac{35}{96}\)

(d) Let event F: At least one of them will be alive.
∴ P(F) = 1 – P(none of them will be alive)
= 1 – \(\frac{35}{96}\)
= \(\frac{61}{96}\)

Question 11.
A box contains 10 red balls and 15 green balls. Two balls are drawn in succession without replacement. What is the probability that,
(a) the first is red and the second is green?
(b) one is red and the other is green?
Solution:
Total number of balls = 10 + 15 = 25
(a) Let event A: First ball drawn is red.
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{{ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_{1}}{{ }^{25} \mathrm{C}_{1}}=\frac{10}{25}=\frac{2}{5}\)
Let event B: Second ball drawn is green.
Since the first red ball is not replaced in the box, we now have 24 balls, out of which 15 are green.
∴ Probability that the second ball is green under the condition that the first red ball is not replaced in the box = P(B/A) = \(\frac{{ }^{15} \mathrm{C}_{1}}{{ }^{24} \mathrm{C}_{1}}=\frac{15}{24}=\frac{5}{8}\)
∴ Required probability = P(A ∩ B) = P(B/A) . P(A)
= \(\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{5}{8}\)
= \(\frac{1}{4}\)

(b) To find the probability that one ball is red and the other is green, there are two possibilities:
First ball is red and second ball is green.
OR
The first ball is the green and the second ball is red.
From above, we get
P(First ball is red and second ball is green) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
Similarly,
P(First ball is green and second ball is red) = \(\frac{{ }^{15} \mathrm{C}_{1}}{{ }^{25} \mathrm{C}_{1}} \times \frac{{ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_{1}}{{ }^{24} \mathrm{C}_{1}}=\frac{15}{25} \times \frac{10}{24}=\frac{1}{4}\)
∴ Required probability = P(First ball is red and second ball is green) + P(First ball is green and second ball is red)
= \(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Question 12.
A bag contains 3 yellow and 5 brown balls. Another bag contains 4 yellow and 6 brown balls. If one ball is drawn from each bag, what is the probability that,
(a) both the balls are of the same colour?
(b) the balls are of a different colours?
Solution:
(a) Let event A: A yellow ball is drawn from each bag.
Probability of drawing one yellow ball from total 8 balls of first bag and that of drawing one yellow ball out of total 10 balls of second bag is
P(A) = \(\frac{{ }^{3} \mathrm{C}_{1}}{{ }^{8} \mathrm{C}_{1}} \times \frac{{ }^{4} \mathrm{C}_{1}}{{ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_{1}}\) = \(\frac{3}{8} \times \frac{4}{10}=\frac{3}{20}\)
Let event B: A brown ball is drawn from each bag.
Probability of drawing one brown ball out of total 8 balls of first bag and that of drawing one brown ball out of total 10 balls of second bag is
P(B) = \(\frac{{ }^{5} \mathrm{C}_{1}}{{ }^{8} \mathrm{C}_{1}} \times \frac{{ }^{6} \mathrm{C}_{1}}{{ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_{1}}\) = \(\frac{5}{8} \times \frac{6}{10}=\frac{3}{8}\)
Since both the events are mutually exclusive events,
P(A ∩ B) = 0
∴ P(both the balls are of the same colour) = P(both are of yellow colour) or P(both are of brown colour)
= P(A) + P(B)
= \(\frac{3}{20}+\frac{3}{8}\)
= \(\frac{21}{40}\)

(b) P(both the balls are of different colour) = 1 – P(both the balls are of the same colour)
= 1 – \(\frac{21}{40}\)
= \(\frac{19}{40}\)

Question 13.
An urn contains 4 black, 5 white, and 6 red balls. Two balls are drawn one after the other without replacement. What is the probability that at least one of them is black?
Solution:
Total number of balls in the um = 4 + 5 + 6 = 15
Two balls are drawn from 15 balls without replacement.
∴ n(S) = \({ }^{15} \mathrm{C}_{1} \times{ }^{14} \mathrm{C}_{1}\) = 15 × 14 = 210
Let event A: At least one ball is black.
i.e., the first ball is black, and the second ball is non-black or the first ball is non-black and the second ball is black, or both the first and second balls are black.
∴ n(A) = \({ }^{4} \mathrm{C}_{1} \times{ }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{1}+{ }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{1} \times{ }^{4} \mathrm{C}_{1}+{ }^{4} \mathrm{C}_{1} \times{ }^{3} \mathrm{C}_{1}\)
= 4 × 11 + 11 × 4 + 4 × 3
= 100
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}\) = \(\frac{100}{210}=\frac{10}{21}\)

Check:
Required probability = 1 – P(no black ball in two balls)
= 1 – \(\frac{{ }^{11} C_{2}}{{ }^{15} C_{2}}=1-\frac{11 \times 10}{15 \times 14}=1-\frac{11}{21}=\frac{10}{21}\)

Question 14.
Three fair coins are tossed. What is the probability of getting three heads given that at least two coins show heads?
Solution:
When three fair coins are tossed, the sample space is
S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}
∴ n(S) = 8
Let event A: Getting three heads.
∴ A = {HHH}
Let event B: Getting at least two heads.
∴ B = {HHT, HTH, THH, HHH}
∴ n(B) = 4
∴ P(B) = \(\frac{n(B)}{n(S)}=\frac{4}{8}\)
Now, A ∩ B = {HHH}
∴ n(A ∩ B) = 1
∴ P(A ∩ B) = \(\frac{n(A \cap B)}{n(S)}=\frac{1}{8}\)
∴ Probability of getting three heads, given that at least two coins show heads, is given by
P(A/B) = \(\frac{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})}{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})}\)
= \(\frac{\frac{1}{8}}{\frac{4}{8}}\)
= \(\frac{1}{4}\)

Question 15.
Two cards are drawn one after the other from a pack of 52 cards without replacement. What is the probability that both the cards are drawn are face cards?
Solution:
In a pack of52 cards, there are 12 face cards.
Let event A: The first card drawn is a face card.
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{{ }^{12} C_{1}}{{ }^{52} C_{1}}=\frac{12}{52}=\frac{3}{13}\)
Let event B: The second card drawn is a face card.
Since the first card is not replaced in the pack, we now have 51 cards, out of which 11 are face cards.
∴ Probability that the second card is a face card under the condition that the first card is not replaced in the pack = P(B/A) = \(\frac{{ }^{11} C_{1}}{{ }^{51} C_{1}}=\frac{11}{51}\)
∴ Required probability = P(A ∩ B) = P(B/A) . P(A)
= \(\frac{11}{51} \times \frac{3}{13}\)
= \(\frac{11}{221}\)

Question 16.
Bag A contains 3 red and 2 white balls and bag B contains 2 red and 5 white balls. A bag is selected at random, a ball is drawn and put into the other bag, and then a ball is drawn from that bag. Find the probability that both the balls are drawn are of the same colour.
Solution:
Let event C₁: The first ball drawn is red and from bag A,
event D₁: The first ball drawn is white and from bag A,
event E₁: The first ball drawn is red and from bag B,
event F₁: The first ball drawn is white and from bag B,
event C₂: Second ball drawn is red and from bag B,
event D₂: Second ball drawn is white and from bag B,
event E₂: Second ball drawn is red and from bag A,
event F₂: Second ball drawn is white and from bag A,
event G: Selecting bag A in the first place,
event H: Selecting bag B in the first place.
P(G) = P(H) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Let event X: Both the balls drawn are of same colour.
∴ P(X) = P(G) × P (X/G) + P(H) × P(X/H) …….(i)
If bag A is selected in first place, then In bag A, we have 5 balls, out of which 3 are red.
Probability of getting first red ball from bag A = P(C1) = \(\frac{{ }^{3} \mathrm{C}_{1}}{{ }^{5} \mathrm{C}_{1}}=\frac{3}{5}\)
Since first red ball is put into the bag B, we now have 8 balls in bag B, out of which 3 are red.
∴ Probability of getting second red ball from bag B.
P(C₂/C₁) = \(\frac{{ }^{3} C_{1}}{{ }^{8} C_{1}}=\frac{3}{8}\)
Similarly, probability of getting first white ball from bag A = P(D₁) = \(\frac{{ }^{2} C_{1}}{{ }^{5} C_{1}}=\frac{2}{5}\)
and probability of getting second white ball form bag B = P(D₂/D₁) = \(\frac{{ }^{6} C_{1}}{{ }^{8} C_{1}}=\frac{6}{8}\)
∴ P(X/G) = P(C₁) P(C₂/C₁) + P(D₁) P(D₂/D₁)
= \(\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{3}{8}+\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{6}{8}\)
= \(\frac{21}{40}\) …..(ii)
Similarly, P(X/H) = P(E₁) P(E₂/E₁) + P(F₁) P(F₂/F₁)
= \(\frac{2}{7} \times \frac{4}{6}+\frac{5}{7} \times \frac{3}{6}\)
= \(\frac{23}{42}\) ………(iii)
From (i), (ii), (iii),
Required probability = \(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{21}{40}+\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{23}{42}\)
= \(\frac{3604}{6720}\)
= \(\frac{901}{1680}\)

Question 17.
Activity: A bag contains 3 red and 5 white balls. Two balls are drawn at random one after the other without replacement. Find the probability that both the balls are white.
Solution:
Let, event A: The first ball drawn is white
event B: Second ball drawn is white.
P(A) = \(\frac{5}{8}\)
After drawing the first ball, without replacing it into the bag a second ball is drawn from the remaining 7 balls.
∴ P(B/A) = \(\frac{4}{7}\)
∴ P(Both balls are white) = P(A ∩ B)
= P(A) . P(B/A)
= \(\frac{5}{8}\) × \(\frac{4}{7}\)
= \(\frac{5}{14}\)

Question 18.
A family has two children. Find the probability that both the children are girls, given that at least one of them is a girl.
Solution:
A family has two children.
∴ Sample space S = {BB, BG, GB, GG}
∴ n(S) = 4
Let event A: At least one of the children is a girl.
∴ A = {GG, GB, BG}
∴ n(A) = 3
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\frac{3}{4}\)
Let event B: Both children are girls.
∴ B = {GG}
∴ n(B) = 1
∴ P(B) = \(\frac{n(B)}{n(S)}=\frac{1}{4}\)
Also, A ∩ B = B
∴ P(A ∩ B) = P(B) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
∴ Required probability = P(B/A)
= \(\frac{P(B \cap A)}{P(A)}\)
= \(\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{3}{4}}\)
= \(\frac{1}{3}\)

(II) Answer the following:

Question 1.
Find the centre and radius of the circle x² + y² – x + 2y – 3 = 0.
Solution:
Given equation of the circle is x² + y² – x + 2y – 3 = 0
Comparing this equation with x² + y² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0, we get
2g = -1, 2f = 2 and c = -3
g = \(\frac{-1}{2}\), f = 1 and c = -3
Centre of the circle = (-g, -f) = (\(\frac{1}{2}\), -1)
and radius of the circle

Question 2.
Find the centre and radius of the circle x = 3 – 4 sin θ, y = 2 – 4 cos θ.
Solution:
Given, x = 3 – 4 sin θ, y = 2 – 4 cos θ
⇒ x – 3 = -4 sin θ, y – 2 = -4 cos θ
On squaring and adding, we get
⇒ (x – 3)² + (y – 2)² = (-4 sin θ)² + (-4 cos θ)²
⇒ (x – 3)² + (y – 2)² = 16 sin² θ + 16 cos² θ
⇒ (x – 3)² + (y – 2)² = 16(sin² θ + cos² θ)
⇒ (x – 3)² + (y – 2)² = 16(1)
⇒ (x – 3)² + (y – 2)² = 16
⇒ (x – 3)² + (y – 2)² = 4²
Comparing this equation with (x – h)² + (y – k)² = r², we get
h = 3, k = 2, r = 4
∴ Centre of the circle is (3, 2) and radius is 4.

Question 3.
Find the equation of circle passing through the point of intersection of the lines x + 3y = 0 and 2x – 7y = 0 and whose centre is the point of intersection of lines x + y + 1 = 0 and x – 2y + 4 = 0.
Solution:
Required circle passes through the point of intersection of the lines x + 3y = 0 and 2x – 7y = 0.
x + 3y = 0
⇒ x = -3y ……..(i)
2x – 7y = 0 ……(ii)
Substituting x = -3y in (ii), we get
⇒ 2(-3y) – 7y = 0
⇒ -6y – 7y = 0
⇒ -13y = 0
⇒ y = 0
Substituting y = 0 in (i), we get
x = -3(0) = 0
Point of intersection is O(0, 0).
This point O(0, 0) lies on the circle.
Let C(h, k) be the centre of the required circle.
Since, point of intersection of lines x + y = -1 and x – 2y = -4 is the centre of circle.
∴ x = h, y = k
∴ Equations of lines become
h + k = -1 ……(iii)
h – 2k = -4 …..(iv)
By (iii) – (iv), we get
3k = 3
⇒ k = 1
Substituting k = 1 in (iii), we get
h + 1 = -1
⇒ h = -2
∴ Centre of the circle is C(-2, 1) and it passes through point O(0, 0).
Radius(r) = OC
= \(\sqrt{(0+2)^{2}+(0-1)^{2}}\)
= \(\sqrt{4+1}\)
= √5
The equation of a circle with centre at (h, k) and radius r is given by
(x – h)² + (y – k)² = r²
Here, h = -2, k = 1
the required equation of the circle is
(x + 2)² + (y – 1)² = (√5)²
⇒ x² + 4x + 4 + y² – 2y + 1 = 5
⇒ x² + y² + 4x – 2y = 0

Question 4.
Find the equation of the circle which passes through the origin and cuts off chords of lengths 4 and 6 on the positive side of the X-axis and Y-axis respectively.
Solution:

Let the circle cut the chord of length 4 on X-axis at point A and the chord of length 6 on the Y-axis at point B.
∴ the co-ordinates of point A are (4, 0) and co-ordinates of point B are (0, 6).
Since ∠BOA is a right angle.
AB represents the diameter of the circle.
The equation of a circle having (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) as endpoints of diameter is given by
(x – x₁) (x – x₂) + (y – y₁) (y – y₂) = 0
Here, x₁ = 4, y₁ = 0, x₂ = 0, y₂ = 6
∴ the required equation of the circle is
⇒ (x – 4) (x – 0) + (y – 0) (y – 6) = 0
⇒ x² – 4x + y² – 6y = 0
⇒ x² + y² – 4x – 6y = 0

Question 5.
Show that the points (9, 1), (7, 9), (-2, 12) and (6, 10) are concyclic.
Solution:
Let the equation of circle passing through the points (9, 1), (7, 9), (-2, 12) be
x² + y² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 …….(i)
For point (9, 1),
Substituting x = 9 andy = 1 in (i), we get
81 + 1 + 18g + 2f + c = 0
⇒ 18g + 2f + c = -82 …..(ii)
For point (7, 9),
Substituting x = 7 andy = 9 in (i), we get
49 + 81 + 14g + 18f + c = 0
⇒ 14g + 18f + c = -130 ……(iii)
For point (-2, 12),
Substituting x = -2 and y = 12 in (i), we get
4 + 144 – 4g + 24f + c = 0
⇒ -4g + 24f + c = -148 …..(iv)
By (ii) – (iii), we get
4g – 16f = 48
⇒ g – 4f = 12 …..(v)
By (iii) – (iv), we get
18g – 6f = 18
⇒ 3g – f = 3 ……(vi)
By 3 × (v) – (vi), we get
-11f = 33
⇒ f = -3
Substituting f = -3 in (vi), we get
3g – (-3) = 3
⇒ 3g + 3 = 3
⇒ g = 0
Substituting g = 0 and f = -3 in (ii), we get
18(0) + 2(-3) + c = – 82
⇒ -6 + c = -82
⇒ c = -76
Equation of the circle becomes
x² + y² + 2(0)x + 2(-3)y + (-76) = 0
⇒ x² + y² – 6y – 76 = 0 ……(vii)
Now for the point (6, 10),
Substituting x = 6 and y = 10 in L.H.S. of (vii), we get
L.H.S = 6² + 10² – 6(10) – 76
= 36 + 100 – 60 – 76
= 0
= R.H.S.
∴ Point (6,10) satisfies equation (vii).
∴ the given points are concyciic.

Question 6.
The line 2x – y + 6 = 0 meets the circle x² + y² + 10x + 9 = 0 at A and B. Find the equation of circle with AB as diameter. Solution:
2x – y + 6 = 0
⇒ y = 2x + 6
Substituting y = 2x + 6 in x² + y² + 10x + 9 = 0, we get
⇒ x² + (2x + 6)² + 10x + 9 = 0
⇒ x² + 4x² + 24x + 36 + 10x + 9 = 0
⇒ 5x² + 34x + 45 = 0
⇒ 5x² + 25x + 9x + 45 = 0
⇒ (5x + 9) (x + 5) = 0
⇒ 5x = -9 or x = -5
⇒ x = \(\frac{-9}{5}\) or x = -5
When x = \(\frac{-9}{5}\),
y = 2 × \(\frac{-9}{5}\) + 6
= \(\frac{-18}{5}\) + 6
= \(\frac{-18+30}{5}\)
= \(\frac{12}{5}\)
∴ Point of intersection is A\(\left(\frac{-9}{5}, \frac{12}{5}\right)\)
When x = -5,
y = -10 + 6 = -4
∴ Point of intersection in B (-5, -4).
By diameter form, equation of circle with AB as diameter is
(x + \(\frac{9}{5}\)) (x + 5) + (y – \(\frac{12}{5}\)) (y + 4) = 0
⇒ (5x + 9) (x + 5) + (5y – 12) (y + 4) = 0
⇒ 5x² + 25x + 9x + 45 + 5y² + 20y – 12y – 48 = 0
⇒ 5x² + 5y² + 34x + 8y – 3 = 0

Question 7.
Show that x = -1 is a tangent to circle x² + y² – 4x – 2y – 4 = 0 at (-1, 1).
Solution:
Given equation of circle is x² + y² – 4x – 2y – 4 = 0.
Comparing this equation with x² + y² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0, we get
2g = -4, 2f = -2, c = -4
⇒ g = -2, f = -1, c = -4
The equation of a tangent to the circle
x² + y² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 at (x₁, y₁) is xx₁ + yy₁ + g(x + x₁) + f(y + y₁) + c = 0
the equation of the tangent at (-1, 1) is
⇒ x(-1) + y(1) – 2(x – 1) – 1(y + 1) – 4 = 0
⇒ -3x – 3 = 0
⇒ -x – 1 = 0
⇒ x = -1
∴ x = -1 is the tangent to the given circle at (-1, 1).

Question 8.
Find the equation of tangent to the circle x² + y² = 64 at the point P(\(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\)).
Solution:
Given equation of circle is x² + y² = 64
Comparing this equation with x² + y² = r², we get r = 8
The equation of a tangent to the circle x² + y² = r² at P(θ) is x cos θ + y sin θ = r
∴ the equation of the tangent at P(\(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\)) is
⇒ x cos \(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\) + y sin \(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\) = 9
⇒ \(x\left(\frac{-1}{2}\right)+y\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)=8\)
⇒ -x + √3y = 16
⇒ x – √3y + 16 = 0

Question 9.
Find the equation of locus of the point of intersection of perpendicular tangents drawn to the circle x = 5 cos θ and y = 5 sin θ.
Solution:
The locus of the point of intersection of perpendicular tangents is the director circle of the given circle.
x = 5 cos θ and y = 5 sin θ
⇒ x² + y² = 25 cos² θ + 25 sin² θ
⇒ x² + y² = 25 (cos² θ + sin² θ)
⇒ x² + y² = 25(1) = 25
The equation of the director circle of the circle x² + y² = a² is x² + y² = 2a².
Here, a = 5
∴ the required equation is
x² + y² = 2(5)² = 2(25)
∴ x² + y² = 50

Question 10.
Find the equation of the circle concentric with x² + y² – 4x + 6y = 1 and having radius 4 units.
Solution:
Given equation of circle is
x² + y² – 4x + 6y = 1 i.e., x² + y² – 4x + 6y – 1 = 0
Comparing this equation with x² + y² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0, we get
2g = -4, 2f = 6
⇒ g = -2, f = 3
Centre of the circle = (-g, -f) = (2, -3)
Given circle is concentric with the required circle.
∴ They have same centre.
∴ Centre of the required circle = (2, -3)
The equation of a circle with centre at (h, k) and radius r is (x – h)² + (y – k)² = r²
Here, h = 2, k = -3 and r = 4
∴ the required equation of the circle is
(x – 2)² + [y – (-3)]² = 4²
⇒ (x – 2)² + (y + 3)² = 16
⇒ x² – 4x + 4 + y² + 6y + 9 – 16 = 0
⇒ x² + y² – 4x + 6y – 3 = 0

Question 11.
Find the lengths of the intercepts made on the co-ordinate axes, by the circles.
(i) x² + y² – 8x + y – 20 = 0
(ii) x² + y² – 5x + 13y – 14 = 0
Solution:
To find x-intercept made by the circle x² + y² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0,
substitute y = 0 and get a quadratic equation in x, whose roots are, say, x₁ and x₂.

These values represent the abscissae of ends A and B of the x-intercept.
Length of x-intercept = |AB| = |x₂ – x₁|
Similarly, substituting x = 0, we get a quadratic equation in y whose roots, say, y₁ and y₂ are ordinates of the ends C and D of the y-intercept.
Length of y-intercept = |CD| = |y₂ – y₁|
(i) Given equation of the circle is
x² + y² – 8x + y – 20 = 0 ……(i)
Substituting y = 0 in (i), we get
x² – 8x – 20 = 0 ……(ii)
Let AB represent the x-intercept, where
A = (x₁, 0), B = (x₂, 0)
Then from (ii),
x₁ + x₂ = 8 and x₁x₂ = -20
(x₁ – x₂)² = (x₁ + x₂)² – 4x₁x₂
= (8)² – 4(-20)
= 64 + 80
= 144
∴ |x₁ – x₂| = \(\sqrt{\left(x_{1}-x_{2}\right)^{2}}\) = √144 = 12
∴ Length of x – intercept =12 units
Substituting x = 0 in (i), we get
y² + y – 20 = 0 …..(iii)
Let CD represent the y – intercept,
where C = (0, y₁) and D = (0, y₂)
Then from (iii),
y₁ + y₂ = -1 and y₁y₂ = -20
(y₁ – y₂)² = (y₁ + y₂)² – 4y₁y₂
= (-1)² – 4(-20)
= 1 + 80
= 81
∴ |y₁ – y₂| = \(\sqrt{\left(y_{1}-y_{2}\right)^{2}}\) = √81 = 9
∴ Length of y – intercept = 9 units.

Alternate Method:
Given equation of the circle is x² + y² – 8x + y – 20 = 0 ……(i)
x-intercept:
Substituting y = 0 in (i), we get
x² – 8x – 20 = 0
⇒ (x – 10)(x + 2) = 0
⇒ x = 10 or x = -2
length of x-intercept = |10 – (-2)| = 12 units
y-intercept:
Substituting x = 0 in (i), we get
y² + y – 20 = 0
⇒ (y + 5)(y – 4) = 0
⇒ y = -5 or y = 4
length of y-intercept = |-5 – 4| = 9 units

(ii) Given equation of the circle is
x² + y² – 5x + 13y – 14 = 0
Substituting y = 0 in (i), we get
x² – 5x – 14 = 0 ……(ii)
Let AB represent the x-intercept, where
A = (x₁, 0), B = (x₂, 0)
Then from (ii),
x₁ + x₂ = 5 and x₁x₂ = -14
(x₁ – x₂)² = (x₁ + x₂)² – 4x₁x₂
= (5)² – 4(-14)
= 25 + 56
= 81
∴ |x₁ – x₂| = \(\sqrt{\left(x_{1}-x_{2}\right)^{2}}\) = √81 = 9
∴ Length of x-intercept = 9 units
Substituting x = 0 in (i), we get
y² + 13y – 14 = 0 ……(iii)
Let CD represent they-intercept,
where C = (0, y₁), D = (0, y₂).
Then from (iii),
y₁ + y₂ = -13 and y₁y₂ = -14
(y₁ – y₂)² = (y₁ + y₂)² – 4y₁y₂
= (-13)² – 4(-14)
= 169 + 56
= 225
∴ |y₁ – y₂| = \(\sqrt{\left(y_{1}-y_{2}\right)^{2}}\) = √225 = 15
∴ Length ofy-intercept = 15 units

⇒ -4x – 4y – 28 + 4x + 12 = 0
⇒ -4y – 16 = 0
⇒ y + 4 = 0
⇒ y = -4
Substituting y = -4 in x² + y² – 4x – 12 = 0, we get

Comparing this equation with x² + y² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0, we get
2g = 10, 2f = -6, c = -17
⇒ g = 5, f = -3, c = -17
Centre of circle = (-g, -f) = (-5, 3)

In right angled ∆ABC,
BC² = AB² + AC² …..[Pythagoras theorem]
⇒ (10)² = AB²+ (√51)²
⇒ AB² = 100 – 51 = √49
⇒ AB = 7

Length of the tangent segment from (8, -3) = √10
⇒ \(\sqrt{8^{2}+(-3)^{2}-2(8)+k(-3)-23}=\sqrt{10}\)
⇒ 64 + 9 – 16 – 3k – 23 = 10 …..[Squaring both the sides]

⇒ 6x + 4y – 3x – 18 – 2y – 8 = 0
⇒ 3x + 2y – 26 = 0

Alternate method:
Given equation of the circle is x² + y² – 6x – 4y = 0
x(x – 6) + y(y – 4) = 0, which is in diameter form where (0, 0) and (6, 4) are endpoints of diameter.

Slope of OP = \(\frac{4-0}{6-0}=\frac{2}{3}\)
Since, OP is perpendicular to the required tangent.
Slope of the required tangent = \(\frac{-3}{2}\)
the equation of the tangent at (6, 4) is
y – 4 = \(\frac{-3}{2}\) (x – 6)

y = -6 – 2x ……(ii)
Substituting y = -6 – 2x in (i), we get
x + (-6 – 2x)² + 2x – 2(-6 – 2x) – 3 = 0
⇒ x² + 36 + 24x + 4x² + 2x + 12 + 4x – 3 = 0
⇒ 5x² + 30x + 45 = 0
⇒ x² + 6x + 9 = 0

⇒ 3x – 4y – 25 = 0 ……(i)
Given equation of circle is x² + y² + 8x – 4y + c = 0
Comparing this equation with x² + y² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0, we get
2g = 8, 2f = -4
⇒ g = 4, f = -2
∴ C = (-4, 2) and r = \(\sqrt{4^{2}+(-2)^{2}-c}=\sqrt{20-c}\)

Comparing this equation with x² + y² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0, we get
2g = -2, 2f = 8, c = -23
g = -1, f = 4, c = -23
The centre of the circle is C(1, -4)

= √40
= 2√10
Since line (i) is a tangent to this circle the perpendicular distance from C(1, -4) to line (i) is equal to radius r.
\(\left|\frac{3(1)+4+c}{\sqrt{9+1}}\right|\) = 2√10

y₁ = mx₁ ± 3\(\sqrt{1+m^{2}}\)
⇒ y₁ – mx₁ = ± 3\(\sqrt{1+m^{2}}\)
⇒ (y₁ – mx₁)² = 9(1 + m²) ……[Squaring both the sides]
⇒ \(y_{1}^{2}-2 m x_{1} y_{1}+m^{2} x_{1}^{2}=9+9 m^{2}\)

Question 3.
Find the equation of the circle passing through the points (5, 7), (6, 6), and (2, -2).

Consider, CA = CD
By distance formula,
\(\sqrt{(\mathrm{h}-5)^{2}+(\mathrm{k}-7)^{2}}=\sqrt{(\mathrm{h}-2)^{2}+[\mathrm{k}-(-2)]^{2}}\)
Squaring both the sides, we get
⇒ (h – 5)² + (k – 7)² = (h – 2)² + (k + 2)²
⇒ h² – 10h + 25 + k² – 14k + 49 = h² – 4h + 4 + k² + 4k + 4

⇒ h² – 12h + 36 + k² – 12k + 36 = h² – 4h + 4 + k² + 4k + 4
⇒ -12h – 12k + 72 = -4h + 4k + 8
⇒ 8h + 16k – 64 = 0
⇒ h + 2k – 8 = 0 ……(ii)
By (i) – (ii), we get k = 3
Substituting k = 3 in (i), we get

Here, h = 2, k = 3
The required equation of the circle is
(x – 2)² + (y – 3)² = 5²
⇒ x² – 4x + 4 + y² – 6y + 9 = 25

⇒ 2g + c = -1 ……(iii)
For point (-1, -2),
Substituting x = -1 and y = -2, we get
1 + 4 – 2g – 4f + c = 0
⇒ 2g + 4f – c = 5 …….(iv)
Adding (ii) and (iv), we get
8g = -8
⇒ g = -1
Substituting g = -1 in (iii), we get
-2 + c = -1
⇒ c = 1
Substituting g = -1 and c = 1 in (iv), we get
-2 + 4f – 1 = 5
⇒ 4f = 8
⇒ f = 2
Substituting g = -1, f = 2 and c = 1 in (i), we get
x² + y² – 2x + 4y + 1 = 0 ……….(v)
If (1, -4) satisfies equation (v), the four points are concyclic.
Substituting x = 1, y = -4 in L.H.S of (v), we get
L.H.S. = (1)² + (-4)² – 2(1) + 4(-4) + 1
= 1 + 16 – 2 – 16 + 1
= 0
= R.H.S.

CA = CB = radius
CA = CB
By distance formula,
\(\sqrt{(\mathrm{h}-1)^{2}+[\mathrm{k}-(-4)]^{2}}=\sqrt{(\mathrm{h}-5)^{2}+(\mathrm{k}-2)^{2}}\)
Squaring both the sides, we get
⇒ (h – 1)² + (k + 4)² = (h – 5)² + (k – 2)²
⇒ h² – 2h + 1 + k² + 8k + 16 = h² – 10h + 25 + k² – 4k + 4
⇒ -2h + 8k + 17 = -10h – 4k + 29

\(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{a}=1\)
∴ x + y = a ……(ii)
But, equation (ii) passes through (1, 2).
1 + 2 = a
∴ a = 3

Equation of required line passing through (2, 2) and having slope \(\frac{1}{3}\) is
y – 2 = \(\frac{1}{3}\)(x – 2)
3y – 6 = x – 2
∴ x – 3y + 4 = 0

Slope of PQ = 9
\(\frac{\mathrm{k}-4}{5-3}\) = 9
\(\frac{\mathrm{k}-4}{2}\) = 9
k – 4 = 18
k = 22

(b) Given, points A(1, 3), B(4, 1) and C(3, k) are collinear.

Given equation is 3x + 2y – 6 = 0.
Substituting x = 2 and y = 3 in L.H.S. of given equation, we get
L.H.S. = 3x + 2y – 6
= 3(2) + 2(3) – 6

Since the line is at a distance of 3 units below X-axis, k = -3
∴ The equation of the required line is y = -3.

Equation of the line in slope point form is y – y1 = m(x – x1)
The equation of the required line is
y – 2 = 5(x + 1)
y – 2 = 5x + 5
∴ 5x – y + 7 = 0

(b) Given, Inclination of line = θ = 90°
the required line is parallel to Y-axis.
Equation of a line parallel to Y-axis is of the form x = h.
Since the line passes through (7, 3), h = 7
∴ The equation of the required line is x = 7.

(c) Given equation of the line is 3x + 2y = 2.

\(\frac{3 x}{2}+\frac{2 y}{2}=1\)
\(\frac{x}{\frac{2}{3}}+\frac{y}{1}=1\)
This equation is of the form \(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1\), with a = \(\frac{2}{3}\), b= 1.
The line 3x + 2y = 2 intersects the X-axis at A(\(\frac{2}{3}\), 0) and Y-axis at B(0, 1).
Required line is passing through the midpoint of AB.
Midpoint of AB = \(\left(\frac{\frac{2}{3}+0}{2}, \frac{0+1}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{2}\right)\)
∴ Required line passes through (0, 0) and \(\left(\frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{2}\right)\).
Equation of the line in two point form is
\(\frac{y-y_{1}}{y_{2}-y_{1}}=\frac{x-x_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\)
∴ The equation of the required line is
\(\frac{y-0}{\frac{1}{2}-0}=\frac{x-0}{\frac{1}{3}-0}\)
2y = 3x
∴ 3x – 2y = 0

Question 9.

∴ Distance between the parallel lines

Question 12.
Find the equation of the line which contains the point A(3, 5) and makes equal intercepts on the co-ordinates axes.
Solution:
Case I: Line not passing through origin.
Let the equation of the line be \(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1\) …….(i)
This line passes through A(3, 5).
∴ \(\frac{3}{a}+\frac{5}{b}=1\) ……..(ii)
Since the required line makes equal intercepts on the co-ordinates axes,
a = b …….(iii)
Substituting the value of b in (ii), we get
\(\frac{3}{a}+\frac{5}{a}=1\)
∴ a = 8
∴ b = 8 …… [From (iii)]
Substituting the values of a and b in equation (i), the equation of the required line is
\(\frac{x}{8}+\frac{y}{8}=1\)
∴ x + y = 8

Case II: Line passing through origin.
Slope of line passing through origin and A(3, 5) is
m = \(\frac{5-0}{3-0}=\frac{5}{3}\)
∴ Equation of the line having slope m and passing through origin (0, 0) is y = mx.
∴ The equation of the required line is
y = \(\frac{5}{3}\)x
∴ 5x – 3y = 0

Question 13.
The vertices of a triangle are A(1, 4), B(2, 3) and C(1, 6). Find equations of
(a) the sides
(b) the medians
(c) perpendicular bisectors of sides
(d) altitudes of ?ABC
Solution:
Vertices of ∆ABC are A(1, 4), B(2, 3) and C(1, 6)
(a) Equation of the line in two point form is \(\frac{y-y_{1}}{y_{2}-y_{1}}\) = \(\frac{x-x_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\)
Equation of side AB is
\(\frac{y-4}{3-4}=\frac{x-1}{2-1}\)
y – 4 = -1(x – 1)
y – 4 = -x + 1
x + y = 5
Equation of side BC is
\(\frac{y-3}{6-3}=\frac{x-2}{1-2}\)
-1(y – 3) = 3(x – 2)
-y + 3 = 3x – 6
∴ 3x + y = 9
Since both the points A and C have same x co-ordinates i.e. 1
the points A and C lie on a line parallel to Y-axis.
∴ The equation of side AC is x = 1.

(b) Let D, E and F be the midpoints of sides AC and AB respectively of ∆ABC.

(c) Slope of side BC = \(\left(\frac{6-3}{1-2}\right)=\left(\frac{3}{-1}\right)\) = -3
Slope of perpendicular bisector of BC is \(\frac{1}{3}\) and the line passes through \(\left(\frac{3}{2}, \frac{9}{2}\right)\).
Equation of the perpendicular bisector of side BC is
\(\left(y-\frac{9}{2}\right)=\frac{1}{3}\left(x-\frac{3}{2}\right)\)
3(2y – 9) = (2x – 3)
6y – 27 = 2x – 3
2x – 6y + 24 = 0
∴ x – 3y + 12 = 0
Since both the points A and C have same x co-ordinates i.e. 1
the points A and C lie on the line x = 1.
AC is parallel to Y-axis and therefore, perpendicular bisector of side AC is parallel to X-axis.
Since, the perpendicular bisector of side AC passes through E(1, 5).
The equation of perpendicular bisector of side AC is y = 5.
Slope of side AB = \(\left(\frac{3-4}{2-1}\right)\) = -1
Slope of perpendicular bisector of AB is 1 and the line passes through \(\left(\frac{3}{2}, \frac{7}{2}\right)\).
Equation of the perpendicular bisector of side AB is
\(\left(y-\frac{7}{2}\right)=1\left(x-\frac{3}{2}\right)\)
2y – 7 = 2x – 3
2x – 2y + 4 = 0
∴ x – y + 2 = 0

(d) Let AX, BY, and CZ be the altitudes through the vertices A, B and C respectively of ∆ABC.

Slope of BC = -3
Slope of AX = \(\frac{1}{3}\) ……[∵ AX ⊥ BC]
Since altitude AX passes through (1, 4) and has slope \(\frac{1}{3}\),
equation of altitude AX is
y – 4 = \(\frac{1}{3}\)(x – 1)
3y – 12 = x – 1
∴ x – 3y + 11 = 0
Since both the points A and C have same x co-ordinates i.e. 1
the points A and C lie on the line x = 1.
AC is parallel to Y-axis and therefore, altitude BY is parallel to X-axis.
Since the altitude BY passes through B(2, 3), the equation of altitude BY is y = 3.
Also, slope of AB = -1
Slope of CZ = 1
Since altitude CZ passes through (1, 6) and has slope 1,
equation of altitude CZ is
y – 6 = 1(x – 1)
∴ x – y + 5 = 0

Question 14.
Find the equation of the line which passes through the point of intersection of lines x + y – 3 = 0, 2x – y + 1 = 0 and which is parallel to X-axis.
Solution:
Let u ≡ x + y – 3 = 0 and v ≡ 2x – y + 1 = 0
Equation of the line passing through the point of intersection of lines u = 0 and v = 0 is given by u + kv = 0.
(x + y – 3) + k(2x – y + 1) = 0 …..(i)
x + y – 3 + 2kx – ky + k = 0
x + 2kx + y – ky – 3 + k = 0
(1 + 2k)x + (1 – k)y – 3 + k = 0
But, this line is parallel to X-axis
Its slope = 0
⇒ \(\frac{-(1+2 k)}{1-k}=0\)
⇒ 1 + 2k = 0
⇒ k = \(\frac{-1}{2}\)
Substituting the value of k in (i), we get
(x + y – 3) + \(\frac{-1}{2}\) (2x – y + 1) = 0
⇒ 2(x + y – 3) – (2x – y + 1 ) = 0
⇒ 2x + 2y – 6 – 2x + y – 1 = 0
⇒ 3y – 7 = 0, which is the equation of the required line.

Question 15.
Find the equation of the line which passes through the point of intersection of lines x + y + 9 = 0, 2x + 3y + 1 = 0 and which makes x-intercept 1.
Solution:
Let u ≡ x + y + 9 = 0 and v ≡ 2x + 3y + 1 = 0
Equation of the line passing through the point of intersection of lines u = 0 and v = 0 is given by u + kv = 0.
(x + y + 9) + k(2x + 3y + 1) = 0 ……(i)
⇒ x + y + 9 + 2kx + 3ky + k = 0
⇒ (1 + 2k)x + (1 + 3k)y + 9 + k = 0
But, x-intercept of this line is 1.
⇒ \(\frac{-(9+\mathrm{k})}{1+2 \mathrm{k}}\)
⇒ -9 – k = 1 + 2k
⇒ k = \(\frac{-10}{3}\)
Substituting the value of k in (i), we get
(x + y + 9) + (\(\frac{-10}{3}\)) (2x + 3y + 1) = 0
⇒ 3(x + y + 9) – 10(2x + 3y + 1) = 0
⇒ 3x + 3y + 27 – 20x – 30y – 10 = 0
⇒ -17x – 27y+ 17 = 0
⇒ 17x + 27y – 17 = 0, which is the equation of the required line.

Question 16.
Find the equation of the line through A(-2, 3) and perpendicular to the line through S(1, 2) and T(2, 5).
Solution:
Slope of ST = \(\frac{5-2}{2-1}\) = 3
Since the required line is perpendicular to ST,
slope of required line = \(\frac{-1}{3}\) and line passes through A(-2, 3)
Equation of the line in slope point form is y – y₁ = m(x – x₁)
The equation of the required line is
y – 3 = \(\frac{-1}{3}\)(x + 2)
⇒ 3(y – 3) = -(x + 2)
⇒ 3y – 9 = -x – 2
⇒ x + 3y = 7

Question 17.
Find the x-intercept of the line whose slope is 3 and which makes intercept 4 on the Y-axis.
Solution:
Equation of a line having slope ‘m’ and y-intercept ‘c’ is y = mx + c
Given, m = 3, c = 4
The equation of the line is y = 3x + 4
3x – y = -4
\(\frac{3 x}{(-4)}-\frac{y}{(-4)}=1\)
\(\frac{x}{\left(\frac{-4}{3}\right)}+\frac{y}{4}=1\)
This equation is of the form \(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1\), where
x-intercept = a
x-intercept = \(\frac{-4}{3}\)

Alternate Method:

Let θ be the inclination of the line.
Then tan θ = 3 …..[∵ slope = 3 (given)]
\(\frac{\mathrm{OB}}{\mathrm{OA}}=3\)
\(\frac{4}{\mathrm{OA}}=3\)
OA = \(\frac{4}{3}\)
x-intercept = –\(\frac{4}{3}\) as point A is to the left side of Y-axis.

Question 18.
Find the distance of P(-1, 1) from the line 12(x + 6) = 5(y – 2).
Solution:
Given equation of the line is
12(x + 6) = 5(y – 2)
12x + 72 = 5y – 10
12x – 5y + 82 = 0
Let p be the perpendicular distance of the point (-1, 1) from the line 12x – 5y + 82 = 0.

Solution:
Given, A(h, 3) and B(4, 1)
Slope of AB (m₁) = \(\frac{1-3}{4-h}\)
m₁ = \(\frac{2}{h-4}\)
Slope of line 7x – 9y – 19 = 0 is m₂ = \(\frac{7}{9}\)
Since line AB and line 7x – 9y – 19 = 0 are perpendicular to each other,
m₁ × m₂ = -1
\(\frac{2}{h-4} \times \frac{7}{9}=-1\)
14 = 9(4 – h)
14 = 36 – 9h
9h = 22
h = \(\frac{22}{9}\)

Question 20.
Two lines passing through M(2, 3) intersect each other at an angle of 45°. If slope of one line is 2, find the equation of the other line.
Solution:
Let m be the slope of the required line which make an angle of 45° with the other line.
Slope of one of the lines is 2.
tan 45° = \(\left|\frac{\mathrm{m}-2}{1+\mathrm{m}(2)}\right|\)
1 = \(\left|\frac{m-2}{1+2 m}\right|\)
\(\frac{m-2}{1+2 m}=\pm 1\)
\(\frac{\mathrm{m}-2}{1+2 \mathrm{~m}}\) = 1 or \(\frac{\mathrm{m}-2}{1+2 \mathrm{~m}}\) = -1
m – 2 = 1 + 2m or m – 2 = -1 – 2m
m = -3 or 3m = 1
m = -3 or m = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
Required line passes through M(2, 3)
When m = -3, equation of the line is
y – 3 = -3(x – 2)
y – 3 = -3x + 6
∴ 3x + y = 9
When m = \(\frac{1}{3}\), equation of the line is
y – 3 = \(\frac{1}{3}\)(x – 2)
3y – 9 = x – 2
∴ x – 3y + 7 = 0

Question 21.

Equation of the line in slope point form is y – y₁ = m(x – x₁)
Equation of the required line is
y – 0 = 4(x – 5)
y = 4x – 20
4x – y = 20
\(\frac{4 x}{20}-\frac{y}{20}=1\)
\(\frac{x}{5}+\frac{y}{(-20)}=1\)
This equation is of the form \(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1\), where

\(\frac{y-11}{1}=\frac{x-8}{2}\)
2y – 22 = x – 8
x – 2y + 14 = 0
Equation of diagonal BD is
\(\frac{y-11}{12-11}=\frac{x-10}{8-10}\)
\(\frac{y-11}{1}=\frac{x-10}{-2}\)
-2y + 22 = x – 10
x + 2y = 32

Solution:
Vertices of triangle are A(1, 4), B(2, 3) and C(1, 6).
Let BD be the altitude through the vertex B.

Since both the points A and C have same x co-ordinates i.e. 1
the given points lie on a line parallel to Y-axis.
The equation of the line AC is x = 1 …..(i)
AC is parallel to Y-axis and therefore, altitude BD is parallel to X-axis.
Since the altitude BD passes through B(2, 3), the equation of altitude BD is y = 3 ……(ii)
From (i) and (ii),
Point of intersection of AC and altitude BD is (1, 3).

Then RS is the median through R.
S = \(\left(\frac{2-2}{2}, \frac{3+1}{2}\right)\) = (0, 2)
The median RS passes through the points R(4, 5) and S(0, 2).
∴ Equation of median RS is
\(\frac{y-5}{2-5}=\frac{x-4}{0-4}\)
⇒ \(\frac{y-5}{-3}=\frac{x-4}{-4}\)
⇒ 4(y – 5) = 3(x – 4)
⇒ 4y – 20 = 3x – 12
∴ 3x – 4y + 8 = 0

The equation of the required line is
y – 1 = \(\frac{-1}{3}\left(x-\frac{4}{3}\right)\)
⇒ 3(y – 1) = \(-1\left(x-\frac{4}{3}\right)\)
⇒ 3y – 3 = -x + \(\frac{4}{3}\)
⇒ 9y – 9 = -3x + 4
⇒ 3x + 9y = 13

Question 26.
Find the co-ordinates of the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the point P(-1, 3) to the line 3x – 4y – 16 = 0.
Solution:

Let M be the foot of perpendicular drawn from P(-1, 3) to the line 3x – 4y – 16 = 0
Slope of the line 3x – 4y – 16 = 0 is \(\frac{-3}{-4}=\frac{3}{4}\)
Since PM ⊥ to line (i),
slope of PM = \(\frac{-4}{3}\)
Equation of PM is
y – 3 = \(\frac{-4}{3}\) (x + 1)
⇒ 3(y – 3) = -4(x + 1)
⇒ 3y – 9 = -4x – 4
∴ 4x + 3y – 5 = 0 ……(ii)
The foot of perpendicular i.e., point M, is the point of intersection of equation (i) and (ii).
By (i) × 3 + (ii) × 4, we get
25x = 68
x = \(\frac{68}{25}\)
Substituting x = \(\frac{68}{25}\) in (ii), we get

The co-ordinates of the foot of perpendicular M are \(\left(\frac{68}{25}, \frac{-49}{25}\right)\)

Question 27.
Find points on the X-axis whose distance from the line \(\frac{x}{3}+\frac{y}{4}=1\) is 4 units.
Solution:
The equation of line is \(\frac{x}{3}+\frac{y}{4}=1\)
i.e. 4x + 3y – 12 = 0 …..(i)
Let (h, 0) be a point on the X-axis.
The distance of this point from line (i) is 4.
⇒ \(\frac{|4 h+3(0)-12|}{\sqrt{4^{2}+3^{2}}}=4\)
⇒ \(\frac{|4 \mathrm{~h}-12|}{5}=4\)
⇒ |4h – 12| = 20
⇒ 4h – 12 = 20 or 4h – 12 = -20
⇒ 4h = 32 or 4h = -8
⇒ h = 8 or h = -2
∴ The required points are (8, 0) and (-2, 0).

Question 28.
The perpendicular from the origin to a line meets it at (-2, 9). Find the equation of the line.
Solution:

Slope of ON = \(\frac{9-0}{-2-0}=\frac{-9}{2}\)
Since line AB ⊥ ON,
slope of the line AB perpendicular to ON is \(\frac{2}{9}\) and it passes through point N(-2, 9).
Equation of the line in slope point form is y – y₁ = m(x – x₁)
Equation of line AB is
y – 9 = \(\frac{2}{9}\)(x + 2)
⇒ 9(y – 9) = 2(x + 2)
⇒ 9y – 81 = 2x + 4
⇒ 2x – 9y + 85 = 0

Question 29.
P(a, b) is the midpoint of a line segment intercepted between the axes. Show that the equation of the line is \(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=2\).
Solution:
Let the intercepts of a line AB be x₁ and y₁ on the X and Y-axes respectively.
A ≡ (x₁, 0), B = (0, y₁)
P(a, b) is the midpoint of a line segment AB intercepted between the axes.

Question 30.
Find the distance of the line 4x – y = 0 from the point P(4, 1) measured along the line making an angle of 135° with the positive X-axis.
Solution:

Let a line L make angle 135° with positive X-axis.
Required distance = PQ, where PQ || line L
Slope of PQ = tan 135°
= tan (180° – 45°)
= -tan 45°
= -1
Equation of PQ is
y – 1 = (-1)(x – 4)
y – 1 = -x + 4
x + y = 5 …..(i)
To get point Q we solve the equation 4x – y = 0 with (i)
Substituting y = 4x in (i), we get
5x = 5
x = 1
Substituting x = 1 in (i), we get
1 + y = 5
y = 4
∴ Q = (1, 4)
PQ = \(\sqrt{(4-1)^{2}+(1-4)^{2}}\)
= \(\sqrt{9+9}\)
= 3√2

Question 31.
Show that there are two lines which pass through A(3, 4) and the sum of whose intercepts is zero.
Solution:
Case I: Line not passing through origin.
Let the equation of the line be \(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1\) ……(1)
This line passes through (3, 4)
\(\frac{3}{a}+\frac{4}{b}=1\) …..(ii)
Since the sum of the intercepts of the line is zero,
a + b = 0
a = -b ……(iii)
Substituting the value of a in (ii), we get
\(\frac{3}{-b}+\frac{4}{b}=1\)
\(\frac{1}{b}\) = 1
b = 1
a = -1 ……[From (iii)]
Substituting the values of a and b in (i),
the equation of the required line is
\(\frac{x}{-1}+\frac{y}{1}=1\)
x – y = -1
∴ x – y + 1 = 0

Case II: Line passing through origin.
Slope of line passing through origin and A(3, 4) is
m = \(\frac{4-0}{3-0}=\frac{4}{3}\)
Equation of the line having slope m and passing through origin (0, 0) is y = mx.
The equation of the required line is
y = \(\frac{4}{3}\)x
∴ 4x – 3y = 0
∴ There are two lines which pass through A(3, 4) and the sum of whose intercepts is zero.

Question 32.
Show that there is only one line which passes through B(5, 5) and the sum of whose intercepts is zero.
Solution:
When line is passing through origin, the sum of intercepts made by the line is zero.
Slope of line passing through origin and B(5, 5) is
m = \(\frac{5-0}{5-0}\) = 1
Equation of the line having slope m and passing through origin (0, 0) is y = mx.
The equation of the required line is y = x
∴ x – y = 0
∴ There is only one line which passes through B(5, 5) and the sum of whose intercepts is zero.
