The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze each quantity step by step. ### Quantity I: We need to find the probability that at most two students will solve a question given the probabilities that each student does not answer it. 1. **Identify the probabilities of not answering:** - Student A: 0.5 - Student B: 0.4 - Student C: 0.7 2. **Calculate the probabilities of answering:** - Probability that Student A answers = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5 - Probability that Student B answers = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6 - Probability that Student C answers = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3 3. **Calculate the probability that all three students answer the question:** - P(All answer) = P(A answers) * P(B answers) * P(C answers) - = 0.5 * 0.6 * 0.3 = 0.09 4. **Calculate the probability that at most two students answer:** - P(At most 2 answer) = 1 - P(All answer) - = 1 - 0.09 = 0.91 ### Quantity II: We need to find the probability of getting at least one black ball when drawing three balls from a bag containing 5 black balls and 7 white balls. 1. **Total balls in the bag:** - Total = 5 (black) + 7 (white) = 12 balls 2. **Calculate the probability of drawing no black balls:** - The only way to draw no black balls is to draw 3 white balls. - The probability of drawing 3 white balls can be calculated using combinations: - P(No black balls) = (Number of ways to choose 3 white balls) / (Total ways to choose 3 balls) - = C(7, 3) / C(12, 3) 3. **Calculate the combinations:** - C(7, 3) = 7! / (3!(7-3)!) = 35 - C(12, 3) = 12! / (3!(12-3)!) = 220 4. **Calculate the probability:** - P(No black balls) = 35 / 220 = 0.1591 (approximately) 5. **Calculate the probability of getting at least one black ball:** - P(At least 1 black ball) = 1 - P(No black balls) - = 1 - 0.1591 = 0.8409 (approximately) ### Quantity III: We need to find the probability that Nirmal and Puja will contradict each other when stating the same fact. 1. **Identify the probabilities of truth-telling:** - Nirmal tells the truth 4 out of 5 times: P(Nirmal tells the truth) = 4/5 - Puja tells the truth 6 out of 7 times: P(Puja tells the truth) = 6/7 2. **Calculate the probabilities of lying:** - P(Nirmal lies) = 1 - P(Nirmal tells the truth) = 1/5 - P(Puja lies) = 1 - P(Puja tells the truth) = 1/7 3. **Calculate the probability of contradiction:** - They contradict each other if: - Nirmal tells the truth and Puja lies, or - Nirmal lies and Puja tells the truth. - P(Contradiction) = P(Nirmal tells the truth) * P(Puja lies) + P(Nirmal lies) * P(Puja tells the truth) - = (4/5 * 1/7) + (1/5 * 6/7) - = (4/35) + (6/35) = 10/35 = 2/7 ≈ 0.2857 ### Summary of Results: - Quantity I: 0.91 - Quantity II: 0.8409 - Quantity III: 0.2857 ### Conclusion: Comparing the quantities: - Quantity I (0.91) > Quantity II (0.8409) > Quantity III (0.2857)

To solve the problem, we will analyze each quantity step by step. ### Quantity I: We need to find the probability that at most two students will solve a question given the probabilities that each student does not answer it. 1. **Identify the probabilities of not answering:** - Student A: 0.5 - Student B: 0.4 ...
