The probability of a bomb hitting a target is 0.2. Two direct hits are necessary to destroy a bridge. If six bombs are aimed at the bridge, find the probability that the bridge is destroyed.

A rifleman is firing at a distance target and hence has only 10% chance of hitting it. Find the number of rounds; he must fire in order to have more than 50% chance of hitting it at least once.

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 chances 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?
