Will be a fifty-paise coin = Answer: 1729

Will not be a five-ruoees coin = Answer: 2829


SOLUTION 1 :

Sample space, S has 290 coins which 10 fifty-paise coins, 80 one rupee coins, 30 two rupees coins and 10 five rupee coins.

n(S) = 170 + 80 + 30 + 10

       =  290.

 (i) .... Let A be the event of taking one coin which is fifty-paise coin.

n(A) = 290.

P(A) = n(A) / n(S) = 170290 = 1729

(ii) ..... Let B be the event of taking one coin which is not a five rupee coin.

n(B) = n(S) - 10

       = 290 - 10 = 280.

P(B) = n(B) / n(S) = 280290 =   2829 .
