Multiple Choice Questions - Set - 3
Question 1:
The letters of the word SOCIETY are placed at random in a row. The probability of getting a vowel is
(a) 1/7
(b) 2/7
(c) 3/7
(d) 4/7
Correct Answer – (C)
No. of vowel = 3 [∵ Vowel are O, I, E]
∴ P(a vowel) = 3/7
Question 2 :
One card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 playing cards. The probability of getting a non-face card is
(a) 3/13
(b) 10/13
(c) 7/13
(d) 4/13
Correct Answer – (B)
Reason; Total cards = 52,
Total face cards = 12
∴ Non-face cards = 52 – 12 = 40
∴ P(a non-face card) =40/52=10/13
Question 3 :
Three coins are tossed simultaneously. The probability of getting all heads is
(a) 1
(b) 1/2
(c) 1/4
(d) 1/8
Correct Answer – (D)
∴ P(all heads) = 1/8
Question 4 :
The total number of events of throwing 10 coins simultaneously is
(a) 1024
(b) 512
(c) 100
(d) 10
Correct Answer – (A)
Question 5 :
The probability of getting a spade card from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards is
(a) 1/13
(b) 1/4
(c) 12/13
(d) 3/4
Correct Answer – (B)
Total cards = 52,
Spade cards = 13

Question 6 :
The chance of throwing 5 with an ordinary die is
(a) 1/6
(b) 5/6
(c) 1/3
(d) 1/2
Correct Answer – (A)
Reason: Here S = [1, 2, 3,4, 5, 6]
∴ n(S) = 6
∴ P(throwings) = 1/6
Question 7 :
One card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards. The probability of getting a king of red colour is
(a) 1/26
(b) 1/13
(c) 1/4
(d) 1/2
Correct Answer – (A)
Reason: Total cards = 52
Total events «(S) = 52
a king of red colour = 2
P(a king of red colour) =2/52=1/26
Question 8 :
Which of the following can be the probability of an event?
(a) – 0.4
(b) 1.004
(c) 18/23
(d) 10/7
Correct Answer – (C)
Question 9 :
The probability of getting less than 3 in a single throw of a die is
(a) 1/3
(b) 1/2
(c) 1/4
(d) 2/3
Correct Answer – (A)
Reason: Here S = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
∴ n(S) = 6
E = (Less than 3) = [1, 2]
∴ P(Less than 3) =2/6=1/3
Question 10 :
he probability of getting exactly one head in tossing a pair of coins is
(a) 0
(b) 1
(c) 1/3
(d)1/2
