Set A {1,3,10,17,19}, B{9,12,15,18,21} and set C{4,7,10,13,16,19} probability of a num from A+ a num from B > a num from C.
Read Solution (Total 12)
-
- Total of 5*5*6 cases,where are 17 false cases
1+9!> 10,13,16,19
1+12!> 13,16,19
1+15!> 16,19
1+18!> 19
similarly 3+9!> 13,16,19
3+12!> 16,19
3+15!>19
10+9!>19
so probability=1-(17/150)=133/150 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(25) No(1)
- number of possibility [ set A + set B] > number of possibility of set C
1 + 9 > {13,16,19} = 3!
3 + 9 > {13,16,19}= 3!
1 + 12 >{16,19} = 2!
3 + 12> { 16,19}= 2!
1 + 15 > { 19} = 1!
3 + 15 > {19}= 1!
total possibility from 6 combination = 2*3! + 2*2! + 1 + 1=18
hence,
probability = 6/18 = 1/3 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(3)
- total no of cases - no of false cases=true cases
total no of cases=150
false cases=17
1+9=10 which is not greater than 10,13,16,19 from set C. So this are the false case. Rest are true.
Similarly calculate the other cases.
likewise we will get 17 cases which are false. so,150-17=133 cases are true
so the probability=133/150

- total no of comaprision we have is 5c1*5c1*6c1=5*5*6=150
total no of cases A+B>c is 12
so probability=12/150 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- total triplets we can get from A,B,C =5 elements from A *5 from B *6 from C =150

C={4,7,10,13,16,19}
A+B>19 --->17 pairs * 6 match ups in C =102 triplets
A+B>16 --->3 pairs * 5 match ups in C =15 triplets
A+B>13 --->2 pairs * 4 match ups in C =8 triplets
A+B>10 --->2 pairs * 3 match ups in C =6 triplets
A+B>7 --->1 pairs * 2 match ups in C =2 triplets
Total =133 triplets possible
==>p(A+B>C)=133/150

- In set A -- there are 5 no: so we can select any no: from it in 5 ways
Like wise,
In set B -- there are 5 no: so we can select any no: from it in 5 ways
In set C -- there are 6 no: so we can select any digit from it in 6 ways
So, TOTAL WAYS in which 3 no:s can be selected such that one no: is selected from each set = 5 x 5 x 6
= 150 ways
now see the cases when (no: from A + no: from B) > no: from C
i.e; let a be the selected element from A,
let b be the selected element from B
let c be the selected element from C
then a + b should be greater than c
It is simpler to calculate those cases where the condition fails
i.e a+ b less than or equal to c
such cases are :

36 people {a1, a2, …, a36} meet and shake hands in a circular fashion. In other words, there are totally 36handshakes involving the pairs, {a1, a2}, {a2, a3}, …, {a35, a36}, {a36, a1}. Then size of the smallest set ofpeople such that the rest have shaken hands with at least one person in the set is
12. If f(x) = 7 x +12, what is f-1(x) (the inverse function)?
