JEE PYQ: Probability Question 47
Question 47 - 2019 (12 Jan Shift 1)
In a class of 60 students, 40 opted for NCC, 30 opted for NSS and 20 opted for both NCC and NSS. If one of these students is selected at random, then the probability that the student selected has opted neither for NCC nor for NSS is:
(1) $\frac{1}{6}$
(2) $\frac{1}{3}$
(3) $\frac{2}{3}$
(4) $\frac{5}{6}$
Show Answer
Answer: (1)
Solution
$n(\text{NCC} \cup \text{NSS}) = 40 + 30 - 20 = 50$. $P(\text{neither}) = 1 - \frac{50}{60} = \frac{1}{6}$.
