An artillery target may be either at point A with probability (8)/(9) or at point B with probability (1)/(9) , we have 21 shells, each of which can be fired either at point A or at point B. Each shell may hit the target independently of the other shells, with probability (1)/(2) How may shells must be fired at point A to hit the target with maximum probability ?

The probability that A hits a target is 1/3 and the probability that B hits it is 2/5\ . If each one of and B shoots at the target, what is the probability that (i) the target is hit? (ii) exactly one-of-them-hits the target?

A tank is initially at a perpendicular distance BT=360 m from the plane of firing as shown . The enemy tank is moving with a speed of 9 m/s in direction TA as shown in figure. A gun can fire shell in y-z plane only with a speed 100 m/s at an angle of 53^(@) such that the shell lands at points A. If tank started at t=0 then time interval (in sec) after which shell is to to be fired to hit the tank is

Consider a shell that has a muzzle velocity of 45ms^(-1) fired from the tail gun of an airplane moving horizontally with a velocity of 215 ms^(-1) . The tail gun can be directed at any angle with the vertical in the plane of motion of the airplane. The shell is fired when the plane is above point A on ground, and the plane is above point B on ground when the shell hits the ground. (Assume for simplicity that the Earth is flat)
