Each element of ordered pair (i, j) is either present in A or in B.

So, A + B = Sum of all elements of all ordered pairs {i, j} for 1≤i≤10 and 1≤j≤10

= 20 (1 + 2 + 3 + … + 10) = 1100

2 4 π ∫ 0 2 ( 2 − x 2 ) ( x 2 + 2 ) 4 + x 4 d x

2 4 π ∫ 0 2 x 2 ( 2 x 2 − 1 ) d x x ( x + 2 x ) × x 4 x 2 + x 2

x + 2 x = t

d t = ( 1 − 2 x 2 ) d x

85. The probability of success is twice the probability of failure.

Let the probability of failure be x.

∴ Probability of success = 2x

x+2x=1⇒3x=1⇒x=13∴2x=23

Let p=13 and q=23

Let X be the random variable that represents the number of successes in six trials.

By binomial distribution, we obtain

P(X=x)=nCx
pn−xqx

Probability of at lea

75. Let X represent the number of winning prizes in 50 lotteries. The trials are Bernoulli trials.

Clearly, X has a binomial distribution with n = 50 and p = 1/100

∴q=1−p=1−1100=99100∴P(X=x)=nCx
qn−xpx=50Cx
(99100)50−x.(1100)x

P (winning at least once) =P(X≥1)

=1−P(X<1)=1−P(X=1)=1−50C0

(99100)50=1−1.(99100)50=1−(99100)50

P (winning exactly once) =P(X=1)

=50C1

(99100)49.(1100)1=50(1100)(99100)49=12(99100)49

P (at least twice) =P(X≥2)

=1−P(X<2)=1−P(X≤1)=1−[P(X=0)+P(X=1)]=[1−P(X=0)]−P(X=1)=1−(99100)50−12.(99100)49=1−(99100)49.[99100+12]=1−(99100)49.(149100)=1−(149100)(99100)49

16. P (A)=12 , P (B)=0

P (A/B)=P (A∩B)P (B)

=P (A∩B)0 = which is not defined

The correct answer is  (C) not defined.

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.

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 =
