NCERT Class X Chapter 14: Probability Exercise 14.1 Question 19

Question:

A child has a die whose six faces show the letters as given below: A B C D E A. The die is thrown once. What is the probability of getting
(i) A?
(ii) D?

Given:

A die with faces showing the letters: A, B, C, D, E, A. The die is thrown once.

To Find:

(i) Probability of getting A
(ii) Probability of getting D

Formula:

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes Total number of possible outcomes

Solution:

(i) Probability of getting A:

Number of favorable outcomes (A) = 2
Total number of possible outcomes = 6
Probability (A) = 2 6 = 1 3

(ii) Probability of getting D:

Number of favorable outcomes (D) = 1
Total number of possible outcomes = 6
Probability (D) = 1 6

Result:

(i) Probability of getting A = 1 3
(ii) Probability of getting D = 1 6
