Solution
Suppose you drop a tie at random on the rectangular region shown in figure
: Probability that it will land in inside the circle of diameter 1m Total area of circle with diameter 1 m
`"Area of circle with diameter 1m"=pi(1/2)^2`
`=pi/4 m^2`
`"Area of reactangle" =3xx2`
` =6m^2`
`"We know that PROBABILITY" = "Number of favourable event"/"Total number of event"`
Hence probability that the tie will land in the circle is `pi/(4/6)=pi/24`
