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.

Therefore, The required number = 10P49P3

= 5040 – 504

= 4536 ways

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) 36=12

(ii) P (1 or 3) = P (1) + P (3) = 26+16=2+16=36=12

(iii) P (not 3) = 1 P (3) = 1 -16 = 616=56

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)

=n ()n ()+n ()n ()n (A∩B)n ()

=3060+32602460

=30+322460=3860=1930

(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)

=11930=301930=1130

(iii) Probabilities that student opted NSS but not NCC

P (B but not A) = P (B) – P (A∩B)

=32302430

=322430=830=215

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% = 40100 .

Let B: Students study Biology.

P (B) = 30% = 30100 .

So, P (A∩B) i.e. probability of student studying both Mathematics and Biology is

P (A∩B) = 10% = 10100

? P (A∪B); probability of student studying Mathematics or Biology is

P (A∪B) = P (A) + P (B) – P (A∩B)

=40100+3010010100

=60100

=35 .

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
