A cube having all of its sides painted is cut to be two horizontal , two vertical and other two planes, so as to form 27 cubes all having the same dimesions of these cubes, a cube is selected at random.
If `P_1` be the probability that the cube selected having atleast one of its sides painted, then the value of `27P_1`, is

A

18

B

20

C

22

D

26

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
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.

Which of the following statement is/are correct? (a)Three coins are tossed once. At least two of them must land the same way. No matter whether they land heads or tails, the third coin is equally likely to land either the same way or oppositely. So, the chance that all the three coins land the same way is 1/2. (b)Let 0 (c)Suppose urn contains "w" white and "b" black balls and a ball is drawn from it and is replaced along with "d" additional balls of the same color. Now a second ball is drawn from it. The probability that the second drawn ball is white is independent of the value of "d"dot (d) A ,B ,C simultaneously satisfy P(A B C)=P(A)P(B)P(C) P(A B C )=P(A)P(B)P( C ) P(A B C)=P(A)P( B )P(C) P(A-B C)=P( A )P(B)P(C) Then A ,B ,C are independent

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%.
