उत्तर
Total number of coins = 100 + 50 + 20 + 10 = 180
So, the total number of outcomes is 180.
A coin of value less than ₹5 can be 50 paise or ₹1 or ₹2 coin.
Number of 50 paise or ₹1 or ₹2 coins = 100 + 50 + 20 = 170
So, the favourable number of outcomes are 170.
∴ P(the coin which fell has value less than ₹5 ) = \[\frac{\text{ Favourable number of outcomes }}{\text{ Total number of outcomes }} = \frac{170}{180} = \frac{17}{18}\]
