EMP Q.12

0. A has one share in a lottery in which there is 1 prize and 2 blanks; B has three shares in a lottery in which there are 3 prizes and 6 blanks; compare the probability of A's success to that of B's success is

  • Option : A
  • Explanation : A can draw a ticket in 3C1 = 3 ways.
    Number of cases in which A can get a prize
    is clearly 1.

    Probability of A's success = 1/3

    Again B can draw a ticket in   Probability

    Number of ways in which B gets all blanks

                                                  Probability

    Number of ways of getting a prize
                                                                 = 84 - 20 = 64

    Thus, probability of B's success  =        Probability

    A's probability of success : B's probability
    of success

       Probability
