• Ans 8 :
  If we arrange the possibilities:
  
  1. Tosses 1,3,5,7,9 are tails
  The others can be either heads or tails: 2^5 possibilities.
  
  2. Tosses 2,4,6,8,10 are tails
  The others can be either heads or tails: 2^5 possibilities.
  
  Hence, total possibilites where no 2 consecutive are heads is: 2 * 2^5
  
  Probability = 2^6/2^10 = 1/2^4

• for question 1.
  total no of ways = (n-1)!
  when 2 specific person sits next to each other => (n-2)!*2!

• sorry anser of question 4 wil be........5/11
  solution......A chance of winning is 1/6 and b chance of winning is 1/6...
  so the chance of winning of b is.....5/6*1/6, 5/6*5/6*5/6*1/6......simly..it will go to infinite..if we observe above pattern , we will find that it Is in gp..with first term=5/36 and r eqls to25/36...formula for sum of infinite series is a/1-r ....after putting the value in above equation we will get..5/11 .

• For Question 2.
  
  There are 10 digits 0,1,2,........9 any of which can occur in any number at the last place.
  It is obvious that if the last digit in any of the four numbers is 0,2,4,5,6,8 then product of any such four numbers will not give a number having it's last digit as 1,3,7,9. Hence, it is necessary that the last digit in each of the four numbers must be any of the four digits 1,3,7,9.
  Thus, for each of the four numbers,
  the number of ways for the last digit = 10
  favourable number of ways = 4
  therefore, the probability that the last digit is any of the four numbers 1,3,7,9 = 4/10 = 2/5
  Hence, the required probability that the last digit in each of the four numbers is 1,3,7,9 so that the last digit in their product is 1,3,7,9 = (2/5)4 = 16/625.

  ans so on

• 2)
  4 digit no's can be form in following ways=9*10*10*10
  only 1,3,7,9 can be multiplied to form 1,3,7,5 in end
  so favourable conditions = 4!

• que. 2
  we know that 4 digit nos from 1000 to 9999 are=10000
  and only if we pick the nos which have combination of this digits 1,3,7,9 give us last digit after product
  So we can form 256 nos using 1,3,7,9 because repetition is allowed
  so 256/10000 =16/625

• a fair coin is tossed 10 times. find the probability that 2 heads do not occur consecutively.
  Ans --979/1024.
  In this que. we tossed coin for 10 times so total favourable cases for head/tail are =1/2^10= 1/1024.
  but 2 heads not occur consecutively so lets we find consecutive heads first
  for 2 consecutive heads=9 possible case.
  same for 3 consecutive heads=8
  for 4 consecutive heads=7.
  for 5 consecutive heads=6
  for 6 consecutive heads=5.
  for 7 consecutive heads=4.
  for 8 consecutive heads=3.
  for 9 consecutive heads=2.
  for 10 consecutive heads=1
  total favourable cases is 45
  so 45/1024 is favour of 2 or more consecutive heads
  
  1-45/1024 =979/1024 ans.
