Answer : 4. "90/91"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Option D Explanation: Let S be the sample space. Then,n(s) = number of ways of drawing 4 pearls out of 14 = C414 ways = 14×13×12×114×3×2×1= 1001 Let E be the event of drawing 4 pearls of the same colour.Then, E = event of drawing (4 pearls out of 5) or (4 pearls out of 4) or (4 pearls out of 5) ⇒C15+ C44+ C15 = 5+1+5 =11 P(E) = n(E)n(S)=111001=191 Required probability = 1-191=9091

Answer : 2. "20"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 20 Explanation: Since each number to be divisible by 5, we must have 5 0r 0 at the units place. But in given digits we have only 5. So, there is one way of doing it. Tens place can be filled by any of the remaining 5 numbers.So, there are 5 ways of filling the tens place. The hundreds place can now be filled by any of the remaining 4 digits. So, there are 4 ways of filling it. Required number of numbers = (1 x 5 x 4) = 20.
