The pie graph shown in the adjoining figure representing the different subjects liked by the students of class VIII. Study the pie graph carefully and choose the correct answer from the given four options for questions 7 to 10.
Question 7. Which subject is liked by the maximum number of students
(a) Maths
(b) Science
(c) S. Science
(d) English
Answer:
Mathematics is liked by the maximum number of students. (a)
Question 8. Which subject is liked by the minimum number of students
(a) Maths
(b) Science
(c) S. Science
(d) English
Answer:

(a) 10
(b) 20
(c) 40
(d) 80
Answer:
In class VIII, there are 200 students,
then the number of students who like S. Science
= 200 × (20/100) = 40 (c)

Question 11. Probability of getting exactly 2 heads when three coins are tossed together
(a) 1/8
(b) 1/4
(c) 3/8
(d) 5/8
Answer:
Three coins are tossed,
then total number of outcomes = 23 = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8
Getting two heads (2, 2…), (2…, 2), (…2, 2) = 3
Probability = 3/8 (c)

Question 12. Probability of selecting a consonant from the letters of the word ‘FATHER’
(a) 1/3
(b) 3/4
(c) 5/6
(d) 2/3
Answer:
From the letter ‘FATHER’
Total outcomes = 6
∴ Consonant = 4/6 = 2/3 (d)
Question 13. Probability of getting more than 2 heads when a pair of coins is tossed.
(a) 1
(b) 1/2
(c) 1/3
(d) 0
Answer:
A pair of coins tossed, then
Total number of outcomes = 2 × 2 = 4
Getting more than two heads – None
∴ Probability = 0 (d)
Question 14. Probability of getting a red ball from a bag containing 20 red balls
(a) 0
(b) 1
(c) 1/20
(d) 1/2
Answer:
Total red balls = 20
Probability a red ball = 20/20 = 1 (b)
Question 15. Probability of getting a non-red ball from a bag containing 4 red, 5 blue and 3 black balls is
(a) 1/3
(b) 2/3
(c) 1/4
(d) 5/12
Answer:
In a bag, there are 4 red balls, 5 blue and 3 black balls.
∴ Total outcomes = 4 + 5 + 3 = 12
Probability of a non-red ball (5 blue + 3 black) = 8
= 8/12 = 2/3 (b)

Question 1. A bag contains 12 balls out of which x are black.
(i) If a ball drawn at random, what is the probability that it will be a black ball?
(ii) If 6 more black balls are put in the bag, the probability of drawing a black ball will be double than that of (i). Find the value of x.
Answer:
In a bag there are 12 balls, x is black.
(i) A bal1 is drawn at random.
Probability of a ball being black P(E) = x/12
(ii) By putting 6 more black balls, total number of black balls = x + 6
and total balls = 12 + 6 = 18
Now, probability of a black ball = (x+6)/18
According to the condition,
(x+6)/18 = 2 x x/12
6x + 36 = 18 ⇒ 36 = 18x – 6x = 12x
∴ x = 36/12 = 3
Question 2. Ankita and Nagma are friends. They were both born in 1998. What is the probability that they have
(i) same birthday?
(ii) different birthday?
Answer:
Ankita and Nagma both born in 1998.
(i) Probability of being same birth date = 1/365.
(ii) Probability of being different birth dates = (365 – 1)/365 = 364/365.
