Answer : 2. "5/36"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 5/36 Explanation: The two events mentioned are independent. The first roll of the die is independent of the second roll. Therefore the probabilities can be directly multiplied. P(getting first 4) = 1/6 P(no second 6) = 5/6 Therefore P(getting first 4 and no second 6) = 1/6 x 5/6 = 5/36

Answer : 3. "(p + 4) times"
Explanation :
Answer: C) (p + 4) times Explanation: Let the two no's be a and b;Given product of the no's is p = ab;If the each nos is increased by 2 then the new product will be (a+2)(b+2) = ab + 2a + 2b + 4= ab + 2(a+b) + 4= p + 2(a+b) + 4Hence the new product is (p+4) times greater than twice the sum of the two original numbers.
