48. Total no. of ticket for lottery sold = 10, 000
No. of ticket that are awarded prize = 10
So, no. of ticket that are not awarded prize = 10.000 - 10
= 9990
(a) Now, probability of met getting a prize if we buy one ticket

13. For every four-digit number we have to count the permutation of 10 digits namely 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 taken 4 at a time
However, these permutation will include those where 0 is at 1000's place.
So, fixing 0 at 1000's place and rearranging the remaining 9 digits taking 3 at a time.

47. Since the die has two faces each mark 1, three faces each marks 2 and one face mark 3.
The possible sample space of outcome is.
S = {1, 2, 3} so, n (s) = 6
(i) P (2)
(ii) P (1 or 3) = P (1) + P (3) =
(iii) P (not 3) = 1 P (3) = 1 - =

45. Given,
No. of red marbles= 10
No. of blue marbles = 20
No. of green marbles = 30.
So, total no. of marbles = 10 + 20 + 30 = 60
Now, we are to select 5 marbles from the given 60 marbles.
So the sample space is:
n (s) = 60c5.

44. Given that, total number of student, n (S) = 60
Let A: student opted for NCC
n (A) = 30
B: student opted for NSS
n (B) = 32
And student who opted both NCC and NSS, n (A∩B) = 24
(i) Probability that student opted for NCC or NSS,
P (A∪B) = P (A) + P (B) – P (A∩B)
(ii) Probability that student opted neither NCC or NSS
P (not A and not B) = P (A'∩B') = P (A∪B)' = 1 – P (A∪B)
(iii) Probabilities that student opted NSS but not NCC
P (B but not A) = P (B) – P (A∩B)

43. Let A: student passing in Hindi
B: student passing in English
Given, P (B) = 0.75
P (A∩B) = 0.5, passing both subject
And P (A'∩B') = 0.1, i.e., passing neither subject
P (A∪B)' = 0.1
1 – P (A∪B) = 0.1
P (A∪B) = 1 – 0.1
P (A∪B) = 0.9
Hence, P (A∪B) = P (A) + P (B) – P (A∩B)
P (A) = P (A∪B) + P (A∩B) – P (B)
P (A) = 0.9 + 0.5 – 0.75 = 0.65
? The probability of passing Hindi examination is 0.65.

42. Let A: Student passes 1st examination
So, P (A) = 0.8
And B: Student passes 2nd examination
So, P (B) = 0.7
Also probability of passing at least one examination is P (A∪B) = 0.95
Therefore, P (A∪B) = P (A) + P (B) – P (A∩B)
0.95 = 0.8 + 0.7 – P (A∩B)
P (A∩B) = 0.8 + 0.7 – 0.95
P (A∩B) = 0.55
Hence, probability of passing both examination is 0.55.

41. Given that, 40% study Mathematics, 30% study Biology and 10% study both Mathematics and Biology.
Let A: Students study Mathematics.
P (A) = 40% = .
Let B: Students study Biology.
P (B) = 30% = .
So, P (A∩B) i.e. probability of student studying both Mathematics and Biology is
P (A∩B) = 10% =
? P (A∪B); probability of student studying Mathematics or Biology is
P (A∪B) = P (A) + P (B) – P (A∩B)
.

40. Given P (A) = 0.42
P (B) = 0.48
P (A∩B) = 0.16
(i) P (not A) = P (A') = 1 – P (A) = 1 – 0.42 = 0.58
(ii) P (not B) = P (B') = 1 – P (B) = 1 – 0.48 = 0.52
(iii) P (A or B) = P (A∪B) = P (A) + P (B) – P (A∩B)
= 0.42 + 0.48 – 0.16
= 0.74
