1. Two dice are thrown simultaneously. The probability of getting a sum of 9 is:
a. 1/10 b.3/10 c. 1/9 d. 4/9

2. 100 cards are numbered from 1 to 100. Find the probability of getting a prime number.
a. ¾ b. 27/50 c. ¼ d. 29/100

3. A bag contains 5 red balls and some blue balls. If the probability of drawing a blue ball is double that of
a red ball, then the number of blue balls in a bag is:
a. 5 b. 10 c. 15 d. 20

4. Cards marked with numbers 2 to 101 are placed in a box and mixed thoroughly. One card is drawn from
this box randomly, then the probability that the number on card is a perfect square.
a. 9/100 b.1/10 c. 3/10 d.19/100

5. A card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting a king of red suit.
a. 1/26 b. 3/26 c.7/52 d.1/13

6. A game consists of tossing a one-rupee coin 3 times and noting its outcome each time. Aryan wins if all
the tosses give the same result i.e., three heads or three tails and loses otherwise. Then the probability
that Aryan will lose the game.
a. ¾ b. ½ c.1 d.1/4

7. A number x is chosen at random from the numbers -2, -1, 0, 1, 2. Then the probability that x2 < 2 is?
a.1/5 b. 2/5 c. 3/5 d. 4/5

8. A jar contains 24 marbles. Some are red and others are white. If a marble is drawn at random from the
jar, the probability that it is red is 2/3, then the number of white marbles in the jar is:
a.10 b.6 c.8 d.7
9. If an event cannot occur, then its probability is
a. 1 b. ¾ c.1/2 d0
10. A card is drawn from a deck of 52 cards. The event E is that card is not an ace of hearts. The number of
outcomes favourable to E is
a. 4 b.13 c. 48 d. 51

a.12/35 b. 11/35 c. 13/35 d.10/35

13. A game of chance consists of spinning an arrow which is equally likely to come to rest pointing to one
of the number 1,2,3……12, then the probability that it will point to an odd number is:
a.1/6 b. 1/12 c. 7/12 d. 5/12
 In following questions(Qno: 14 - 15), a statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R).
Choose the correct option.
(a) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion(A).
(b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion
(c) Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
(d) Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.
14. Assertion: All elementary event associated to a random experiment have equal probabilities and their
sum is 1
Reason: Elementary events associated to a random experiment are its outcome and there is only one
outcome favourable to each elementary event

15. Assertion: The probability of getting a doublet in a single throw of a pair of dice is 1/6
Reason: For any event A, 0≤ P(A)≤1

1. A card is drawn at random from a pack of 52 playing cards. Find the probability that the card drawn is
neither an ace nor a king
2. Find the probability of getting 53 Fridays in a leap year.

3. There are 30 cards, of same size, in a bag on which numbers 1 to 30 are written. One card is taken out
of the bag at random. Find the probability that the number on the selected card is not divisible by 3.

4. Three coins are tossed simultaneously. Find the probability of getting:

(i) three heads (ii) two heads (iii) one head
(iv) at least one head (v) at least two heads (vi) at most two heads

5. Two dice are drawn simultaneously. Find the probability of getting:

(i) a total of 9 (ii) six as a product (iii) a total of 10
(iv) sum of at least 10 (v) sum divisible by 5

6. All the three face cards of spades are removed from a well shuffled pack of 52 cards. A card is then
drawn at random from the remaining pack. Find the probability of getting
(a) a black face card (b) a queen (c) a black card.

7. Each of two bags A and B, has 5 tickets numbered 0,1,2,3,4. Two tickets are drawn one from each
bag. Describe its sample space and find the probability in the following cases:
(i) Sum of the numbers on the ticket is 3 (ii) Sum of the numbers on the ticket is odd
(iii) Numbers on two tickets are equal (iv) Number of tickets drawn from bag A is less than that drawn
from bag B

8. Two dice are thrown. Find the probability of getting an odd number on one die and a multiple of three
on the other.

9. Two dice are thrown once. Find the probability of getting an even number on 1st die or a total of 8.

10. A coin is tossed twice. If the second throw result is head, then a die is thrown. Describe the sample
space of the experiment

11. If the number x is chosen from the numbers 1,2,3 and a number y is selected from the number 1,4,9, find the
probability that xy <9.
