If three numbers are drawn at random successively without replacement from a set S = {1, 2, ... 10}, then the probability that the minimum of the chosen numbers is 3 or their maximum is 7
A.
(a) Total number of possible outcomes =10C3
Let A be the event that minimum of chosen number is 3 and B be the event that maximum of chosen number is 7 Then, n(A) = Number of ways of choosing remaining two numbers from the set{4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} = 6c2 = 21 Similarly, n(B) = Number of ways of choosing remaining two numbers from the set{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} = 6c2 = 15
and n(A B) = Number of ways of choosing remaining one number from the set {4, 5, 6} = 3c1 = 3
Thus, required probability
=
If a, b and c are non-zero vectors such that a and b are not perpendicular to each other, then the vector r which is perpendicular to a and satisfying r x b = c x b is
If the volume of the tetrahedron formed by the coterminous edges a, b and c is 4, then the volume of the parallelopiped formed by the coterminous edges a x b, b x c and c x a is
