In a hockey match, both teams A and B scored same number of goals up to the end of the game, so to decide the winner, the referee asked both the captains to throw a die alternately and decided that the team, whose captain gets a six first, will be declared the winner. If the captain of team A was asked to start, find their respective probabilities of winning the match and state whether the decision of the referee was fair or not.
A bag contains (2n + 1) coins. It is known that (n – 1) of these coins have a head on both sides, whereas the rest of the coins are fair. A coin is picked up at random from the bag and is tossed. If the probability that the toss results in a head is 31/42, determine the value of n.
A and B throw a pair of dice alternatively, till one of them gets a total of 10 and wins the game. Find their respective probabilities of winning, if A starts first.
A and B throw a pair of dice alternately. A wins the game if he gets a total of 9 and B wins if he gets a total of 7. If A starts the game, find the probability of winning the game by B.
One bag contains 3 red and 5 black balls. Another bag contains 6 red and 4 black balls. A ball is transferred from first bag to the second bag and then a ball is drawn from the second bag. Find the probability that the ball drawn is red.
Consider the experiment of tossing a coin. If the coin shows head, toss is done again, but if it shows tail, then throw a die. Find the conditional probability of the events that ‘the die shows a number greater than 4’, given that ‘there is atleast one tail’.
A speaks truth in 60% of the cases, while B in 90% of cases. In what percent of cases are they likely to contradict each other in stating the same fact ? In the cases of contradiction do you think, the statement of B will carry more weight as he speaks truth in more number of cases than A ?
A and B throw a pair of dice alternately. A wins the game if he gets a total of 7 and B wins the game if he gets a total of 10. If A starts the game, then find the probability that B wins.
Find the particular solution of the differential equation given that y = 1 when x = 0.
Show that the normal at any point θ to the curve x = a cos θ + aθ sin θ, y = a sin θ – aθ cos θ is at a constant distance from the origin.
Obtain the differential equation of all the circles of radius r.
Find the particular solution of the differential equation given that y = 0 when x = 1.
Consider the experiment of tossing a coin. If the coin shows head, toss is done again, but if it shows tail, then throw a die. Find the conditional probability of the events that ‘the die shows a number greater than 4’, given that ‘there is atleast one tail’.
Find the equation of the tangent to the curve which is parallel to the line 4x – 2y + 5 = 0.
