Answer the following questions . a. The earth's magnetic field varies from point is space. Does it also change with time ? It so , on what time scate does it change appreciably ? b. The earth's core is known to contain iron. Yet geologists do not regard this as a source of the earth's magnetism why ? c. The charged currents in the outer conducting regions of the earth's core are thought to be responsible for earth's magnetism . What might be the ' battery ' (i.e., the source of energy) to sustain these currents ? d.

А game consists of tossing a one rupee coin 3 times and noting its outcome each time. Deskhitha wins if all the tosses give the same result i.e., three heads or three tails, and loses otherwise. Calculate the probability that she will lose the game.

An unbiased coin is tossed. If the result is a head, a pair of unbiased dice is rolled and the number obtained by adding the numbers on two faces is noted. If the result is a tail, a card from a well-shuffled pack of 11 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?

In a game, a man wins Rs 100 if he gets 5 or 6 on a throw of a fair die and loses Rs 50 for getting any other number on the die. If he decides to throw the die either till he gets a five or a six or to a maximum of three throws, then his expected gain/loss (in rupees) is: (a) 400/3 gain (b) 400/9 loss (c) 0 (d) 400/3 loss
