Question

A handbag contained fifty ten rupees note, thirty-five fifty rupees note and fifteen hundred rupees note. One note is drawn from a handbag. What is the probability of getting:

Fifty rupees note

Answer 1

Total number of notes= 50 + 35 + 15 = 100

Let E₂ represent the event in which the chosen denomination is a fifty rupee note.

Number of fifty rupees note = 35

Thus, P(E₂) = `"Number of fifty rupees note"/"Total number of notes"`

= `35/100`

= `7/20`
