There are two boxes, one containing 24 red balls and the other containing 38 green balls. You are allowed to move the balls between the boxes so that when you choose a box at random and a ball at random from the chosen box the probability of getting a red ball is maximized. This maximum probability is
.50
.39
.69
.19

Read Solution (Total 3)

0.69
we will keep 1 red ball in 1 box so that if we choose that box...
the prob.=1/2 * 1
rest 23 balls will be in 2nd box so maximum prob. to select that box is
1/2 * 23/61
sum of both will be the answer

0.69 its 1/2[1]+1/2[23/61]

here required maximum probability
so put all the red balls in 1 box and green in other
prob. of choosing 1 box =(1/2)
so finally max prob= (1/2)*1= 0.50

Planet Fourfe resides in 4-dimensional space and thus the currency used by its residents are 3- dimensional objects. The rupee notes are cubical in shape while their coins are spherical. However the coin minting machinery lays out some stipulations on the size of the coins. A. The diamere of the coins should be at least 16 mm and not exceed 64mm.
B. given a coin the diameter of the next larger coin is at least 50% greater.
C. the diameter of the coin must always be an integer.

3 Given a collection of points P in the plane a 1-set is a point in P that can be separated from the rest by a line; i.e the pint lies on one side of the line while the others lie on the other side. The number of 1-sets of P is denoted by n1(P) . The maximum value of n1(P) over all configurations P of 4 points in the plane is
