NCERT Class X Chapter 14: Probability Exercise 14.1 Question 6

Question:

A bag contains lemon flavoured candies only. Malini takes out one candy without looking into the bag. What is the probability that she takes out (i) an orange flavoured candy?
(ii) a lemon flavoured candy?

Given:

A bag contains only lemon flavoured candies.

To Find:

(i) Probability of taking out an orange flavoured candy.
(ii) Probability of taking out a lemon flavoured candy.

Formula:

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes Total number of possible outcomes

Solution:

(i) Probability of taking out an orange flavoured candy:

Since the bag contains only lemon candies, the number of orange candies is 0.

Total number of candies = Number of lemon candies (let's assume 10)

Probability = 0 10 = 0

(ii) Probability of taking out a lemon flavoured candy:

Number of lemon candies = 10

Total number of candies = 10

Probability = 10 10 = 1

Result:

(i) Probability of taking out an orange flavoured candy = 0
(ii) Probability of taking out a lemon flavoured candy = 1
