The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements is correct, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 **Statement-1:** Probability of odd prime numbers between 10 and 25 is \( \frac{1}{20} \). 1. **Identify the total number of cards:** The cards are numbered from 2 to 101. Therefore, the total number of cards is: \[ 101 - 2 + 1 = 100 \] 2. **Identify odd prime numbers between 10 and 25:** The odd prime numbers in this range are: - 11 - 13 - 17 - 19 - 23 Thus, the odd prime numbers between 10 and 25 are: 11, 13, 17, 19, and 23. This gives us a total of 5 odd prime numbers. 3. **Calculate the probability:** The probability of drawing an odd prime number is given by the formula: \[ P(\text{odd prime}) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{5}{100} = \frac{1}{20} \] ### Conclusion for Statement 1: Statement 1 is correct as the probability of odd prime numbers between 10 and 25 is indeed \( \frac{1}{20} \). --- ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 2 **Statement-2:** Probability of perfect cubes is \( \frac{1}{25} \). 1. **Identify perfect cubes between 2 and 101:** The perfect cubes are: - \( 1^3 = 1 \) (not in the range) - \( 2^3 = 8 \) (not in the range) - \( 3^3 = 27 \) (in the range) - \( 4^3 = 64 \) (in the range) - \( 5^3 = 125 \) (not in the range) The perfect cubes between 2 and 101 are: 27 and 64. Thus, there are 2 perfect cubes. 2. **Calculate the probability:** The probability of drawing a perfect cube is given by: \[ P(\text{perfect cube}) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{2}{100} = \frac{1}{50} \] ### Conclusion for Statement 2: Statement 2 is incorrect as the probability of perfect cubes is \( \frac{1}{50} \), not \( \frac{1}{25} \). --- ### Final Conclusion: Since Statement 1 is correct and Statement 2 is incorrect, the correct answer is that **only Statement 1 is true**. ---
