Choose the correct alternative answer for each of the following question.
If n(A) = 2, P(A) = 1/5, then n(S) = ?
  • $10$
  • B
    $\frac{5}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{5}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{3}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$10$
Probability, $P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(s)}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{5}=\frac{2}{ n ( s )} $
$\therefore n ( S )=10$

Choose the correct alternative answer for each of the following question.
There are 40 cards in a bag. Each bears a number from 1 to 40. One card is drawn at random. What is the probability that the card bears a number which is a multiple of 5?
  • $\frac{1}{5}$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{5}$
  • C
    $\frac{4}{5}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{3}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{1}{5}$
Favourable outcomes=8
Total number of outcomes=40
$\therefore$ Probability that the the card bears a number which is a multiple of 5=$\frac{8}{40} = \frac{1}{5}$

MCQ 31 Mark
Choose the correct alternative answer for each of the following question. What is the probability of the event that a number chosen from $1$ to $100$ is a prime number?
  • A
    $\frac{1}{5}$
  • $\frac{6}{25}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{4}$
  • D
    $\frac{13}{50}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{6}{25}$
Favourable outcomes$=24$
