In a class test of 50 students, 20 are boys and 30 are girls. 10 boys and 15 girls ranked in A grade. If a student is chosen at random from the class, what is the probability of choosing a girl or an ‘A grade student”?1). 2/52). 3/53). 8/54). 4/5 |

Answer» GIVEN that Number of BOYS = 20 Number of GIRLS = 30 Girls Getting A grade = 15 and boys getting A grade = 10 So, Probability of choosing a girl = 30/50 = 3/5 Probability of choosing a A grade student = 25/50 = 1/2 Now A grade student can be a girl So, probability of choosing it = 15/50 = 3/10 So, REQUIRED probability of choosing a girl or a A grade student = (3/5 + 1/2) - 3/10 = 4/5 ∴ the required probability is 4/5 |
