The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two statements regarding the cards marked with consecutive odd numbers from 1 to 200. ### Step 1: Determine the Total Number of Cards The odd numbers from 1 to 200 are: 1, 3, 5, ..., 199. This forms an arithmetic progression (AP) where: - First term (a) = 1 - Last term (l) = 199 - Common difference (d) = 2 To find the total number of terms (n) in this AP, we can use the formula for the nth term of an AP: \[ l = a + (n - 1) \cdot d \] Substituting the known values: \[ 199 = 1 + (n - 1) \cdot 2 \] \[ 199 - 1 = (n - 1) \cdot 2 \] \[ 198 = (n - 1) \cdot 2 \] \[ n - 1 = \frac{198}{2} = 99 \] \[ n = 99 + 1 = 100 \] **Total number of cards = 100** ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 1 **Statement 1:** Probability that the drawn card is a multiple of 3 is \( \frac{1}{2} \). To find the number of favorable outcomes (odd multiples of 3): The odd multiples of 3 between 1 and 199 are: 3, 9, 15, ..., 195. This is also an AP where: - First term (a) = 3 - Last term (l) = 195 - Common difference (d) = 6 Using the nth term formula: \[ 195 = 3 + (n - 1) \cdot 6 \] \[ 195 - 3 = (n - 1) \cdot 6 \] \[ 192 = (n - 1) \cdot 6 \] \[ n - 1 = \frac{192}{6} = 32 \] \[ n = 32 + 1 = 33 \] **Number of favorable outcomes = 33** Now, calculate the probability: \[ P(\text{multiple of 3}) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{33}{100} \] Since \( \frac{33}{100} \neq \frac{1}{2} \), **Statement 1 is false**. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement 2 **Statement 2:** Probability that the drawn card is a perfect square and a multiple of 9 is \( \frac{2}{3} \). First, find the odd perfect squares between 1 and 199: The odd perfect squares are: 1, 9, 25, 49, 81, 121, 169. Next, find which of these are also multiples of 9: - 9 (which is \( 3^2 \)) - 81 (which is \( 9^2 \)) **Number of favorable outcomes = 2** (9 and 81) Now, calculate the probability: \[ P(\text{perfect square and multiple of 9}) = \frac{2}{100} = \frac{1}{50} \] Since \( \frac{1}{50} \neq \frac{2}{3} \), **Statement 2 is also false**. ### Conclusion Both statements are false.
