An unbiased coin is tossed. If the outcome is a head,then a pair of unbiased dice is rolled and the sum of the numbers obtained on them is noted. If the toss of the coin results in a tail,then a card from a well-shuffled pack of nine cards numbered $1, 2, 3, \dots, 9$ is randomly picked and the number on the card is noted. The probability that the noted number is either $7$ or $8$ is

  • A
    $\frac{13}{36}$
  • B
    $\frac{15}{72}$
  • C
    $\frac{19}{72}$
  • D
    $\frac{19}{36}$

The urns $A, B$ and $C$ contain $4$ red,$6$ black; $5$ red,$5$ black and $\lambda$ red,$4$ black balls respectively. One of the urns is selected at random and a ball is drawn. If the ball drawn is red and the probability that it is drawn from urn $C$ is $0.4$,then find the square of the length of the side of the largest equilateral triangle inscribed in the parabola $y^2 = \lambda x$ with one vertex at the vertex of the parabola.

$A$ computer producing factory has only two plants $T_1$ and $T_2$. Plant $T_1$ produces $20 \%$ and plant $T_2$ produces $80 \%$ of the total computers produced. $7 \%$ of computers produced in the factory turn out to be defective. It is known that $P(\text{defective} | T_1) = 10 P(\text{defective} | T_2)$. $A$ computer produced in the factory is randomly selected and it is not defective. Then the probability that it is produced in plant $T_2$ is

An examination is attempted by $5000$ graduates, $2000$ post-graduates, and $1000$ doctorate holders. The probabilities that a graduate, a post-graduate, and a doctorate holder will pass the examination are $\frac{2}{3}$, $\frac{3}{4}$, and $\frac{4}{5}$ respectively. If one of the examinees passed the examination, then the probability that he is a post-graduate is:

$A$ student answers a multiple choice question with $5$ alternatives, of which exactly $1$ is correct. The probability that he knows the correct answer is $p$, where $0 < p < 1$. If he does not know the correct answer, he randomly ticks $1$ answer. Given that he has answered the question correctly, the probability that he did not tick the answer randomly is:

$A$ company produces $10,000$ items per day. On a particular day, $2500$ items were produced on machine $A$, $3500$ on machine $B$, and $4000$ on machine $C$. The probability that an item produced by machines $A, B, C$ is defective is $2 \%$, $3 \%$, and $5 \%$, respectively. If one item is selected at random from the output and is found to be defective, then the probability that it was produced by machine $C$ is:
