A cube having all of its sides painted is cut by two horizontal, two vertical, and other two planes so as to form 27 cubes all having the same dimensions. Of these cubes, a cube is selected at random.
The probability that the cube selected has none of its sides painted is

A

`1//9`

B

`1//27`

C

`1//18`

D

`5//54`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Clearlly, cube at the centre is the only cube which is not painted. On each edge, we have one cube pained on two sides. So, there are twelve cubes pained on two sides.

Assume that the chances of a patient having a heart attack is 40%. It is also assumed that a meditation and yoga course reduce the risk of heart attack by 30% and prescription of certain drug reduces its chance by 25%. At a time a patient can choose any one of the two options with equal probabilities. It is given that after going through one of the two options the patient selected at random suffers a heart attack. Find the probability that the patient followed a course of meditation and yoga?

A thin tube of uniform cross section is sealed at both ends. It lies horizontally, the middle 5cm containing mercury and the parts on its two sides containing air at the same pressure p. when the tube is held at and angle of 60_(@) with the vertical, the length of the air column above and belw the mercury pellet are 46cm and 44.5cm respectively. Calculate the ressure - in centimeters of mercury, The timperature of the system is kept at 30_(@)C .

Let S be the set of all triangles in the xy-plane, each having one vertex at the origin and the other two vertices lie on coordinate axes with integral coordinates. If each triangle in S has area 50 eq. units, then the number of elements in the set S is

Take three different colour sheets , place one over the other and draw a triangle on the top sheet. Cut the sheets to get triangles of different colour which are identical. Mark the vertices and the angles as shown. Place the interior angles angle1,angle2 and angle3 on a straight line, adjacent to each other, without leaving any gap. What can you say about the total measure of the three angles angle1,angle2 and angle3 ? Can you use the same figure to explain the ''Exterior angle property'' of a triangle ? If a side of a triangle is stretched, the exterior angle so formed is equal to the sum of the two remote interior angles.
