Question 2.
From a bag containing 2 saffron, 3 white and 4 green balls a ball is drawn at random. Find the probability that ball drawn is
(i) Saffron
(ii) White
(iii) Green
Which are three colours in our National Flag? What values did they indicate? What values are being promoted?
Solution:
A bag contains 2 saffron, 3 white and 4 green ball
∴ Total outcomes = 2 + 3 + 4 = 9
One ball is drawn at random.
(i) Probability of a saffron ball P(E) = \(\frac{2}{9}\)
(ii) Probability of a white ball P(E) = \(\frac{3}{9}=\frac{1}{3}\)
(iii) Probability of a green ball P(E) = \(\frac{4}{9}\)
These three colours are of our national flag.
Saffron colour is for braving and sacrifice,
white is for peace and green is for the prosperity of the nation.

Question 3.
Four defective oranges are accidentally mixed with 16 good ones. One orange is drawn at random. Find the probability that the orange drawn is good one.
What will happen if 4 bad persons are mixed with 16 good ones?
Solution:
Four defective oranges are mixed with 16 good oranges.
∴ Total number of outcomes = 4 + 16 = 20
One orange is drawn at random.
∴ Probability of an orange being a good one = \(\frac{16}{20}=\frac{4}{5}\)
Similarly, when 4 bad boys are mixed with 16 good boys,
they will spoil the good boys.
Bad boys arc curse on society. So, try to avoid them.

Question 1.
A bag contains 12 balls out of which x are black.
(i) If a ball drawn at random, what is the probability that it will be a black ball?
(ii) If 6 more black balls are put in the bag, the probability of drawing a black ball will be double than that of (i). Find the value of x.
Solution:
In a bag there are 12 balls, x is black.
(i) A bal1 is drawn at random.
Probability of a ball being black P(E) = \(\frac{x}{12}\)
(ii) By putting 6 more black balls, total number of black balls = x + 6
and total balls = 12 + 6 = 18
Now, probability of a black ball = \(\frac{x+6}{18}\)
According to the condition,
\(\frac{x+6}{18}=2 \times \frac{x}{12}\)
6x + 36 = 18 ⇒ 36 = 18x – 6x = 12x
∴ x = \(\frac{36}{12}\) = 3

Question 2.
Ankita and Nagma are friends. They were both born in 1998. What is the probability that they have
(i) same birthday?
(ii) different birthday?
Solution:
Ankita and Nagma both born in 1998.
(i) Probability of being same birth date = \(\frac{1}{365}\).
(ii) Probability of being different birth dates = \(\frac{365-1}{365}=\frac{364}{365}\).
