PRACTICE QUESTIONS (PROBABILITY)

CLASS: X : MATHEMATICS
1. Cards, marked with numbers 5 to 50, are placed in a box and mixed thoroughly. A
card is drawn from the box at random. Find the probability that the number on the
taken card is (i) a prime number less than 10. (ii) a number which is a perfect square.
2. A bag contains 5 red, 4 blue and 3 green balls. A ball is taken out of the bag at
random. Find the probability that the selected ball is (i) of red colour (ii) not of green
colour.
3. A card is drawn at random from a well-shuffled deck of playing cards. Find the
probability of drawing a (i) face card (ii) card which is neither a king nor a red card.
4. 15 cards, numbered 1, 2, 3, ..., 15 are put in a box and mixed thoroughly. A card is
drawn at random from the box. Find the probability that the card drawn bears (i) an
even number (ii) a number divisible by 2 or 3.
5. 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.
6. Find the probability of getting 53 Fridays in a leap year.
7. The king, queen and jack of diamonds are removed from a pack of 52 cards and then
the pack is well shuffled. A card is drawn from the remaining cards. Find the
probability of getting a card of (i)diamonds, (ii) a jack
8. Three cards of spades are lost from a pack of 52 playing cards. The remaining cards
were well shuffled and then a card was drawn at random from them. Find the
probability that the drawn cards are of black colour.
9. Two different dice are tossed together. Find the probability (i) that the number on
each dice is even (ii) that the sum of numbers appearing on two dice is 5.
10. Cards marked with numbers 3, 4, 5, ...., 50 are placed in a box and mixed thoroughly.
One cardis drawn at random from the box. Find the probability that number on the
drawn card is (i) divisible by 7 (ii) a number which is a perfect square.
11. Cards bearing numbers 1, 3, 5, ..........., 35 are kept in a bag. A card is drawn at
random from the bag. Find the probability of getting a card bearing (a) a prime
number less than 15. (b) a number divisible by 3 and 5.
12. Two dice are rolled once. Find the probability of getting such numbers on the two
dice, whose product is 12.
13. A bag contains 5 white balls, 7 red balls, 4 black balls and 2 blue balls. One ball is
drawn at random from the bag. What is the probability that the ball drawn is (i)
white or blue (ii) red or black (iii) not white (iv) neither white nor black.
14. A card is drawn at random from a well-shuffled deck of playing cards. Find the
probability that the card drawn is (i) a king or a jack (ii) a non-ace (iii) a red card (iv)
neither a king nor a queen.

15. A box contains 19 balls bearing numbers 1, 2, 3, ....,19. A ball is drawn at random
from the box. What is the probability that the number on the ball is (i) a prime
number (ii) divisible by 3 or 5 (iii) neither divisible by 5 nor by 10 (iv) an even number.
16. From a pack of 52 playing cards, jacks, queens, kings and aces of red colour are
removed. From the remaining a card is drawn at random. Find the probability that
the card drawn is (i) a black queen (ii) a red card (iii) a black jack (iv) a face card.
17. A bag contains 5 red balls and some blue balls. If the probability of drawing a blue
ball from the bag is thrice that of a red ball, find the number of blue balls in the bag.
18. Two dice are thrown simultaneously. What is the probability that (a) 5 will not come
up on either of them? (b) 5 will come up on at least one? (c) 5 will come up at both
dice?
19. Two dice are rolled once. Find the probability of getting such numbers on two dice,
whose product is a perfect square.

getting (i) a black face card, (ii) a queen, (iii) a black card.
23. A bag contains 12 balls out of which x are white. (i) If one ball is drawn at random,
what is the probability that it will be a white ball? (ii) If 6 more white balls are put in
the bag, the probability of drawing a white ball will be double than that in (i). Find x.
24. A bag contains 18 balls out of which x balls are red. (i) If one ball is drawn at random
from the bag, what is the probability that it is not red? (ii) If 2 more red balls are put
in the bag, the probability of drawing a red ball will be 9/8 times the probability of
drawing a red ball in the first case. Find the value of x.
25. A child’s game has 8 triangles of which 3 are blue and rest are red, and 10 squares of
which 6are blue and rest are red. One piece is lost at random. Find the probability
that it is a (i) triangle (ii) square (iii) square of blue colour (iv) triangle of red colour
