उत्तर

Total number of outcomes = 80.

Let E1 be the event of getting a perfect square number.

Out of these numbers, perfect square numbers are 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49 and 64.

Thus, number of favourable outcomes = 8.

∴ P(getting a perfect square number) = P(E1) = `("Number of outcomes favourable to"  E_1)/("Number of all possible outcomes")`

`= 8/80 = 1/10`

Thus, the probability that the disc bears a perfect square number is `1/10`.
