Probability Combinatorics
1. **Problem Q1: Probability with cards drawn without replacement**
(a) Both cards are red.
- Total cards = 52, red cards = 26.
- Probability first card red = $\frac{26}{52} = \frac{1}{2}$.
- After drawing one red card, red cards left = 25, total cards left = 51.
- Probability second card red = $\frac{25}{51}$.
- Combined probability = $\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{25}{51} = \frac{25}{102}$.
(b) First card black, second red.
- Black cards = 26.
- Probability first card black = $\frac{26}{52} = \frac{1}{2}$.
- After drawing black card, red cards still 26, total cards left 51.
- Probability second card red = $\frac{26}{51}$.
- Combined probability = $\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{26}{51} = \frac{26}{102} = \frac{13}{51}$.
(c) Both cards are aces.
- Total aces = 4.
- Probability first ace = $\frac{4}{52} = \frac{1}{13}$.
- After drawing one ace, aces left = 3, total cards left = 51.
- Probability second ace = $\frac{3}{51} = \frac{1}{17}$.
- Combined probability = $\frac{1}{13} \times \frac{1}{17} = \frac{1}{221}$.
2. **Problem Q2: Number of 4-digit numbers from digits 1-6 without repetition**
- Digits available: 6.
- Number of 4-digit numbers without repetition = permutations of 6 digits taken 4 at a time.
- Formula: $P(n,r) = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$.
- Calculation: $\frac{6!}{(6-4)!} = \frac{6!}{2!} = \frac{720}{2} = 360$.
3. **Problem Q3: Number of 5-letter words from LEADER**
- Letters: L, E, A, D, E, R (6 letters, E repeated twice).
- Number of 5-letter words = number of permutations of 6 letters taken 5 at a time with repetition of E considered.
- Total permutations of 6 letters with 2 E's: $\frac{6!}{2!} = 360$.
- For 5-letter words, consider cases:
- Case 1: Both E's included.
- Choose 3 letters from {L, A, D, R} = $\binom{4}{3} = 4$.
- Number of arrangements = $\frac{5!}{2!} = 60$.
- Total = $4 \times 60 = 240$.
- Case 2: Only one E included.
- Choose 4 letters from {L, A, D, R} = $\binom{4}{4} = 1$.
- Number of arrangements = $5! = 120$.
- Total = $1 \times 120 = 120$.
- Total 5-letter words = $240 + 120 = 360$.
4. **Problem Q4: Seating 6 students in a row**
(a) Two particular students must sit together.
- Treat the two students as one unit.
- Number of units = 5 (the pair + 4 others).
- Number of arrangements = $5! = 120$.
- The two students can switch seats: $2! = 2$ ways.
- Total arrangements = $120 \times 2 = 240$.
(b) Two particular students must not sit together.
- Total arrangements without restriction = $6! = 720$.
- Subtract arrangements where they sit together = 240.
- Result = $720 - 240 = 480$.
5. **Problem Q5: Two fair dice rolled**
- Total outcomes = $6 \times 6 = 36$.
(a) Probability sum is 8.
- Possible pairs: (2,6), (3,5), (4,4), (5,3), (6,2) = 5 outcomes.
- Probability = $\frac{5}{36}$.
(b) Probability sum is even.
- Sum even if both dice are even or both odd.
- Even numbers: 2,4,6 (3 numbers), odd numbers: 1,3,5 (3 numbers).
- Even sum outcomes = $3 \times 3 + 3 \times 3 = 18$.
- Probability = $\frac{18}{36} = \frac{1}{2}$.
(c) Probability sum greater than 9.
- Sums > 9: 10, 11, 12.
- Sum 10: (4,6), (5,5), (6,4) = 3.
- Sum 11: (5,6), (6,5) = 2.
- Sum 12: (6,6) = 1.
- Total = 6.
- Probability = $\frac{6}{36} = \frac{1}{6}$.
(d) Probability sum is prime.
- Prime sums possible: 2,3,5,7,11.
- Sum 2: (1,1) = 1.
- Sum 3: (1,2), (2,1) = 2.
- Sum 5: (1,4), (2,3), (3,2), (4,1) = 4.
- Sum 7: (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), (6,1) = 6.
- Sum 11: (5,6), (6,5) = 2.
- Total = 1+2+4+6+2 = 15.
- Probability = $\frac{15}{36} = \frac{5}{12}$.
6. **Problem Q6: Gain or loss percentage**
- Cost price = 15000 + 3500 = 18500.
- Selling price = 18200.
- Loss = 18500 - 18200 = 300.
- Loss percentage = $\frac{300}{18500} \times 100 = 1.62\%$ loss.
7. **Problem Q7: Cost price from selling price and gain percentage**
- Selling price = 1280.
- Gain = 7.5%.
- Cost price = $\frac{Selling\ Price}{1 + \frac{Gain}{100}} = \frac{1280}{1.075} \approx 1190.70$.
8. **Problem Q8: Profit percentage on chair**
- Cost price = 900 + 150 = 1050.
- Selling price = 1400.
- Profit = 1400 - 1050 = 350.
- Profit percentage = $\frac{350}{1050} \times 100 = 33.33\%$.
