Ans Let E and F denote the events that Anil and Ashima will qualify the
27. examination,

respectively. Given that

P(E) = 0.05, P(F) = 0.10 and P(E ∩ F) = 0.02.

Then

(a) The event ‘both Anil and Ashima will not qualify the examination’ may be

expressed as E´ ∩ F´.

Since, E´ is ‘not E’, i.e., Anil will not qualify the examination and F´ is ‘not F’,
i.e.,

Ashima will not qualify the examination.

Also E´ ∩ F´ = (E ∪ F)´ (by Demorgan's Law)

Now P(E ∪ F) = P(E) + P(F) – P(E ∩ F)

or P(E ∪ F) = 0.05 + 0.10 – 0.02 = 0.13

Therefore P(E´ ∩ F´) = P(E ∪ F)´ = 1 – P(E ∪ F) = 1 – 0.13 = 0.87

(b) P (atleast one of them will not qualify)

= 1 – P(both of them will qualify)

= 1 – 0.02 = 0.98
 (c) The event only one of them will qualify the examination is same as the event

either (Anil will qualify, and Ashima will not qualify) or (Anil will not qualify
and Ashima will qualify) i.e., E ∩ F´ or E´ ∩ F, where E ∩ F´ and E´ ∩ F are
mutually exclusive.

Therefore, P(only one of them will qualify) = P(E ∩ F´ or E´ ∩ F)

= P(E ∩ F´) + P(E´ ∩ F) = P (E) – P(E ∩ F) + P(F) – P (E ∩ F)

= 0.05 – 0.02 + 0.10 – 0.02 = 0.11

Ans Total number of players =17
29. It is given that only 5 players can bowl ,
∴ Number of bowlers =5
∴ Number of other players =17-5 =12

A team of 11 players can consist of exactly 4 bowlers and 7 other players.

Exactly 4 bowlers can be selected out of 5 bowlers 5c ways, 7 other players can be
4

selected out of 12 other players in 12c .
