प्रश्न
A bag contains 8 red and some blue balls. One ball is drawn at random from the bag. If ratio of probability of getting red ball and blue ball is 2:5, then find the number of blue balls.
उत्तर
Suppose the number of blue balls = x
∴ n(Blue ball) = x
Number of red balls = 8
∴ n(Red ball) = 8
Total number of balls = 8 + x
∴ n(T) = 8 + x
P(Blue ball drawn) = `(n("Blue ball"))/(n(T))`
= `x/(8 + x)`
P(Red ball drawn) = `(n("Red ball"))/(n(T))`
=`8/(8 + x)`
According to the given condition
`(P("Blue ball drawn"))/(P("Red ball drawn")) = 5/2`
∴ `x/((8 + x)/8) = 5/2`
∴ `x/8 = 5/2`
∴ x = 20
Hence, the number of blue balls is 20.

A card is drawn from a well shuffled pack of 52 playing cards. Find the probability of the event, the card drawn is a red card.
Activity: Let ‘S’ be the sample space.
∴ n(S) = 52
Event A: Card drawn is a red card.
∴ Total red cards = `square` hearts + 13 diamonds
∴ n(A) = `square`
∴ P(A) = `square/(n("S"))` ......[Formula]
P(A) = `26/52`
