61. Urn A contains 6 red and 4 black balls and urn B contains 4 red and 6 black balls. One ball is drawn at
random from urn A and placed in urn B. Then, one ball is drawn at random from urn B and placed in urn
A. If one ball is drawn at random from urn A, the probability that it is found to be red, is........ [1988]

62. If A and B are two independent events, prove that P ( A  B )P ( A  B )  P (C ) , where C is an event defined
that exactly one of A and B occurs. [2004]

63. A is targeting to B, B and C are targeting to A. Probability of hitting the target by A, B and C are , and
3 2
1/3, respectively. If A is hit, then find the probability that B hits the target and C does not. [2003]

64. For a student to qualify, he must pass atleast two out of three exams. The probability that he will pass the
p
1st exam is p. If he fails in one of the exams, then probability of his passing in the next exam is
2
otherwise it remains the same. Find the probability that he will qualify. [2003]

65. A box contains N coins, m of which are fair and the rest are biased. The probability of getting a head when
a fair coin is tossed, is 1/2 while it is 2/3 when a biased coin is tossed. A coin is drawn from the box at
random and is tossed twice. The first time it shows head and the second time it shows tail. What is the
probability that the coin drawn is fair ? [2002]

66. A coin has probability p of showing head when tossed. It is tossed n times. Let pn denotes the probability
that no two (or more) consecutive heads occur.
Prove that p1  1, p 2  1  p 2 and pn  (1  p )  pn 1  p (1  p )pn 2 ,  n  3. [2000]

67. An unbiased coin is tossed. If the result in a head, a pair of unbiased dice is rolled and the number
obtained by adding the numbers on the two faces is noted. If the result is a tail, a card from a well-shuffled
pack of eleven cards numbered 2, 3, 4,....,12 is picked and the number on the card is noted. What is the
probability that the noted number is either 7 or 8 ? [1994]

68. A lot contains 50 defective and 50 non-defective bulbs. Two bulbs are drawn at random, one at a time, with
replacement. The events A, B, C are defined as :
A = (the first bulb is defective) B = (the second bulb is non-defective)
C = (the two bulbs are both defective or both non-defective)
Determine whether [1992]
(i) A, B, C are pairwise independent. (ii) A, B, C are independent.

69. In a multiple-choice question there are four alternative answers, of which one or more are correct. A
candidate will get marks in the question only if he ticks the correct answers. The candidates decide to tick
the answers at random, if he is allowed upto three chances to answer the questions, find the probability
that he will get marks in the question. [1985]

70. A and B are two independent events. The probability that both A and B occur is 1/6 and the probability
that neither of them occurs is 1/3. Find the probability of the occurrence of A. [1984]
