54. Since, the lock can be open by a combination of four digits from the given ten digits I e, from 0 to 9. The number of ways of selecting 4 digits, = 10C4
This combination of 4 digits can again be arranged within themselves in 41 ways. So, total number of

53. (a) No. of ways of forming a four-digit number greater than 5000 from the given digit 0, 1, 3, 5, 7. and digit repetition is allowed can be done in such a way either 5 or 7 and occupy the thousands' place and any of the digits 0, 1, 3, 5, 7 can occupy the remaining 3 places.
Hence, the required no. of ways = (2* 5 * 5 * 5) - 1
= 250 - 1 = 249
Here 1 is subtracted because 5000 which can be formed by the permutation of the given digits is not allowed
Hence, n (s) = 249.
Similarly, in order to formed a number divisibleby 5 we need to have either 0 or 5 in the one place.
The required number of ways = 2* 5 *5 *2 - 1
= 100 - 1
= 99

52. Total no. of person selected to represent the company n (s) = 5.
Let A: person is male.
A = {Harish, Rohan, Salim}
n (A) = 3
And B: person has one 35 yes of age.
B = {Sheetal, Salim}
n (B) = 2
And A ∩ B = {Salim}
n (A ∩ B) = 1
Probability that person is either male or over 35 years.
= P (A ∪ B) = P (A) + P (B) P (A ∩ B)
=

51. Given, P (A) = 0.54
P (B) = 0.69.
P (A ∩ B) = 0.35.
(i) P (A ∪ B) = P (A) + P (B) - P (A ∩ B)
= 0.54 + 0.69 - 0.35
= 0. 88
(ii) P (A? ∩ B? ) = P (A ∩ B)? = 1 - P (A ∪ B) = 1 - 0.88 = 0.12
(iii) P (A ∩ B? ) = P (A) - P (A ∩ B)
= 0.54 - 0. 35 = 0.19
(iv) P (B ∩ A? ) = P (B) - P (A ∩ B) = 0.69 - 0.35 = 0.34

49. Here, out of 100 students, first section has 40 students and the rest I e, 60 students enters in second section.
As me and my friend are among the 100 students.
The no. of ways of selecting 2 students from the 100 students
= 100C2
(a) When both enters first section if 2 of us are among the 40 students that are to be selected. Similarly, if both enters second section among the 60 students for that section.
(if 2 of us)
Hence, no. of ways of selecting both in same section = 40C2 + 60C2
Probability that both of us are in same section

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

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 - =
