उत्तर

Let A and B represent the events of opted NCC and NSS respectively.

Total number of students = 60

Number of students who opted for NCC = 30

Probability of being selected for NCC P(A) = `30/60 = 1/2`

Number of students who opted for N.S.S. = 32

∴ Probability of being selected for N.S.S. P(B) = `32/60`

Number of people who opted for NCC and NSS = 24

Probability of opted for NCC and NSS = `24/60`

(i) Probability of being selected for NCC and NSS P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)

= `30/60 + 32/60 - 24/60`

= `38/60`

= `19/30`

(ii) The probability of not selecting either NCC or NSS

P(A’ ∩ B’) = P[(A ∪ B)’]

= 1 – P(A ∪ B)

= `1 - 19/30`

= `11/30`

(iii) The student has opted for NSS but not NCC

Its probability = P(A’ ∩ B) = P(B) – P(A ∩ B)

= `32/60 - 24/60`

= `8/60`

= `2/15`
