Q30 of 34 Page 1

A box contains 90 discs which are numbered from 1 to 90. If one disc is drawn at random from the box, find the probability that it bears

(i) a two-digit number


(ii) a perfect square number.


(iii) a number divisible by 5.


OR


One card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of getting


(i) A king of red colour.


(ii) A spade


(iii) The queen of diamonds


(iv)


(i) 10,11,12…90 are two digit numbers. There are 81 numbers. So,


Probability of getting a two-digit number


= 81/90 = 9/10


(ii)1, 4, 9,16,25,36,49,64,81 are perfect squares. So, Probability of getting


a perfect square number = 9/90 = 1/10


(iii) 5, 10,15….90 are divisible by 5. There are 18 outcomes. So, probability


of getting a number divisible by 5 = 18/90 = 1/5


OR


(i) Probability of getting A king of red colour.


P (King of red colour) = 2/52 = 1/26


(ii) Probability of getting A spade


P ( a spade) = 13/52 = 1/4


(iii) Probability of getting The queen of diamonds


P ( a the queen of diamonds) = 1/52
