MULTIPLE CORRECT

Q.1 In an exam, the questions are of multiple choice type of which one option is correct out of 4 options.
Probability of knowing the answer of a question by a student is 90% He attempts a question and gets
𝑝
the correct answer. If probability that he did not know the answer is then ( 𝑝 and 𝑞 are co-prime)
𝑞
𝑞−𝑝
(A) 𝑝 & 𝑞 both are single digit number (B) is an integer
6
(C) 𝑝 × 𝑞 lies in [30,40] (D) (3𝑝 + 𝑞) is divisible by 10.
Solution: (BCD)

Q.2 The probability that a married man watches a certain TV show is 0.4 and the probability that a
married woman watches the show is 0.5. The probability that a man watches the show, given that his
wife does, is 0.7. Then

(A) The probability that married couple watches the show is 0.35

(B) The probability that a wife watches the show given that her husband does is 7/8

(C) The probability that atleast one person of a married couple will watch the show is 0.55

(D) The probability that neither a man nor his wife watch the show is 0.35

Solution: (ABC)

Let ' H ' be the event that married man watches the show and ' W ' be the probability that married
woman watches the show.

∵ P(H) = 0.4, P(W) = 0.5, P(H/W) = 0.7

Paragraph for Q.9 & 10

If n and x are positive integers then by binomial theorem (1 + 𝑥)𝑛 = 1 + 𝑛 𝐶1 𝑥 + 𝑛 𝐶2 𝑥 2 +

𝑛
𝐶3 𝑥 3 + ......, the RHS can be written in several ways. For instance (1 + 𝑥)𝑛 = 1 + ( A multiple of
𝑥) = 1 + 𝜆x, where 𝜆 is an integer. OR (1 + 𝑥)𝑛 = 1 + nx + 𝜆𝑥 2 = 1 + 𝑛𝑥 + (a multiple of 𝑥 2 )
etc. From the last representation we can conclude that (1 + 𝑥)𝑛 − 1 − nx is divisible by x 2 .

Q.10 The last two digits of the number 31000 must be

Solution: (01)

31000 = 9500
= (10 − 1)500
= (𝑐0 × 10500 − 𝑐1 × 10499 + ⋯ + 𝑐498 × 102 + 𝑐499 × 10 + 1)

Paragraph 1

A JEE aspirant estimates that she will be successful with an 80 percent chance if she studies 10 hours
per day, with a 60 percent chance if she studies 7 hours per day and with a 40 percent chance if she
studies 4 hours per day. She further believes that she will study 10 hours, 7 hours and 4 hours per day
with probabilities 0.1,0.2 and 0.7, respectively. On the basis of above information, answer the
following question:

Q.13 The chance she will be successful, is -

(A) 0.28 (B) 0.38 (C) 0.48 (D) 0.58

Solution: (C)

Consider the following events

𝐸1 → study 10 hrs per day
𝐸2 → study 7 hrs perday
𝐸3 → study 4 hrs perday
𝐴 → successful

Now

𝑃(𝐴) = 𝑃(𝐴/𝜖1 ) × 𝑃(𝜖1 ) + 𝑃(𝐴/𝜖2 ) × 𝑃(𝜖2 ) + 𝑃(𝐴/𝜖3 ) × 𝑃(𝜖3 )
