An organization conducted a bike race under two different categories - boys and girls. In all, there were
250 participants. In the finals, three from Category 1 and two from Category 2 were selected for the final
race. Ravi forms two sets B and G with these participants for his college project.
Let 𝐵 = { 𝑏1 , 𝑏2 , 𝑏3 } and 𝐺 = { 𝑔1 , 𝑔2 }
where B represents the set of boys selected and G represents the set of girls who were selected for the
final race. Ravi decides to explore these sets for various types of relations and functions.

possible? [1]
(ii) Write the smallest equivalence relation on G. [1]

represents a one-one and onto function or not. Justify your answer. [2]
38. Case-Study 3:
A departmental store sends bills to charge its customers once a month. Past experience shows that
70% of its customers pay their first month’s bill on time. The store also found that the customer who
pays the bill in time has a probability of 0.8 of paying in time next month and the customer who doesn’t
pay in time has a probability of 0.4 of paying in time the next month.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
(i) Let 𝐸1 and 𝐸2 denote the event of the customer paying or not paying the first month’s bill in
time respectively. Find 𝑃(𝐸1 ) and 𝑃(𝐸2 ). [1]

(iii) (b) Find the probability of the customer paying the first month’s bill in time if it is found that
The customer has already paid the second month’s bill on time. [2]
