SECTION-II
(NUMERICAL VALUE TYPE QUESTIONS)
This section contains Five (5) questions. The answer to each question is NUMERICAL VALUE with twodigit
integer and decimal upto one digit.

21. Die P has 4 red and 2 white faces whereas die Q has 2 red and 4 white faces. A fair coin is tossed. If
head turns up the game continues by throwing die P. If tail turns up then die Q is to be used. If the first
two throws of die resulted in red face then find probability of getting red face at the third throw ?
22. Ten coins are thrown simultaneously. If the is probability of getting at least seven heads is  then value
of 100?
23. Two different families A and B are blessed with equal number of children. There are 3 tickets to be
distributed amongst the children of these families so that no child gets more than one ticket. If the
1
probability that all the tickets go to the children of the family B is , then the number of children in
12
each family is :
24. Some urns contain 4 white and 6 black balls each while one urn contains 5 white and 5 black balls. One
urn is chosen at random from there and 2 balls are drawn from it and both are found to be black. The
1
probability that 5 white and 3 black balls remain in the chosen urn is . The total number of urns is
7
25. If two different numbers are taken fromthe set {0, 1, 2, 3,....., 10}; then theprobability that their sum as
well as absolute difference are both multiple of 4, is  then find value of 55.
