I. 3x2-14x + 8 = 0 II. 2y2 - 1 7 y + 36 = 0

Answer»

if x <= y



l. 3X2 - 12X - 2x + 8 = 0
or 3x(x - 4) -2 (x -4) = 0
∴ x = 4, 2/3
ll. 2y2 - 8y - 9Y + 36 = 0
or 2Y (y - 4) -9 (y - 4) = 0
or (2y - 9) (y - 4) = 0
∴ y = 4, 9/2

A box contains 5 red, 4 black and 4 blue balls. If 3 balls are drawn randomly from the box, what is the probability that there are exactly 2 blue balls in the three drawn balls ?

Answer»

27/143



Total BALLS = 5 + 4 + 4 = 13
∴ n(S) = 13C3 = 286
2 blue balls can be selected from 4 balls in 4C2 = 6 ways and the REMAINING one BALL is to be selected from 9 balls in 9C1 = 9 ways 
∴ n(E) = 6 x 9
∴ P(E) = 6 x 9/286 = 27/143
