(A) A coin is dropped at random on the rectangular region shown in the figure. What is the probability that it will land inside the circle with radius $0.7\text{ m}$?
OR
(B) A die is thrown twice. What is the probability that (i) difference between two numbers obtained is 3? (ii) sum of the numbers obtained is 8?
Show SolutionHide Solution
(A) Area of circle $= \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{7}{10} \times \frac{7}{10} = \frac{154}{100}\text{ sq m}$ [$\frac{1}{2}$ mark]
Area of rectangle $= 6\text{ sq m}$ [$\frac{1}{2}$ mark]
$P(\text{coin lands inside the circle}) = \frac{154/100}{6} = \frac{154}{600}$ or $\frac{77}{300}$ [$1$ mark]
OR
(B) (i) $P(\text{difference between two numbers obtained is 3}) = \frac{6}{36}$ or $\frac{1}{6}$ [$1$ mark]
(ii) $P(\text{sum of numbers obtained is 8}) = \frac{5}{36}$ [$1$ mark]
