142.(12) There are 8 even and 9 odd numbers. So probabilities of getting first even number is

9 8 9 72
and probabilities of getting second odd number  , so required probabilities   

143.(1) Sum of all numbers between 1 to 9, 1 + 2 + … 9  = 45, and 1 + 2 + 6 + 3 + 6 = 18, total is
2
18 + 45 = 63 which is divisible by 9. so whatever the arrangement the number will always be
divisible by 9. so probability is one.

144.(7) A number has exactly 3 factors if the number is square of a prime number.
Squares of 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31 are 3-digit numbers.

155.(212) All three squares will share a common vertex if they will form L shape

We have, n (S )  64C3

Let ‘E’ be the event of selecting 3 squares which form the letter ‘L’
The number of ways of selecting square consisting of 4 unit squares is 7 × 7 = 49
Each square with 4 unit squares from 4 L-shapes consisting of 3 unit squares.
