Question
A bag contains cards numbered from 1 to 49. A card is drawn from the bag at random, after mixing the cards thoroughly. Find the probability that the number on the drawn card is multiple of 5.
Solution
Total number of cards = 49
Total number of outcomes = 49
The numbers 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 are multiples of 5.
Total number of favourable outcomes = 9
∴ Required probability `="Total number of favourable outcomes"/"Total number of outcomes"=9/49`

In fig. 7 is shown a disc on which a player spins an arrow twice. The fraction `a/b` is formed, where 'a' is the number of sector on which arrow stops on the first spin and 'b' is the number of the sector in which the arrow stops on second spin. On each spin, each sector has equal chance of selection by the arrow. Find the probability that the fraction `a/b>1.`
