पर्याय

  • \[\frac{197}{200}\]

     
  •  \[\frac{27}{100}\]

     
  • \[\frac{83}{100}\]

     
  •  none of these

     
MCQ

उत्तर

\[ \frac{27}{100}\]
\[P\left( \text{ student gets first division } \right) = \frac{1}{10}\]
\[P\left( \text{student gets second division } \right) = \frac{3}{5}\]
\[P\left( \text{ student gets third division } \right) = \frac{1}{4}\]
\[P\left( \text{ students fails }  \right) = P\left( \text{ student does not get first division } \right) \times P\left( \text{ student does not get second division } \right) \times P\left( \text{ student does not get third division } \right)\]
\[ = \left( 1 - \frac{1}{10} \right)\left( 1 - \frac{3}{5} \right)\left( 1 - \frac{1}{4} \right)\]
\[ = \frac{9}{10} \times \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{3}{4}\]
\[ = \frac{54}{200}\]
\[ = \frac{27}{100}\]
