(#M40000648) TCS QUESTION Keep an EYE

A circular dartboard of radius 1 foot is at a distance of 20 feet from you. You throw a dart at it and it
hits the dartboard at some point Q in the circle. What is the probability that Q is closer to the center of the circle than the periphery?
option
a) 0.75
b) 1
c) 0.5
d) 0.25

Solution

Since according to requirement we have to locate Q closer to center in comparison to the circumference, for doing this we shall make a circle in that board whose radius will be half of the radius of dartboard.now we will compare the area of inner circle to the total area
Answer of DIPIN is correct
area of whole circle = pi*(1 foot)^2 = pi (this is according to formula area = pi*(radius)^2
similarly area of inner circle = pi*(1/2foot)^2 = pi/4
so ratio of areas of these two circles will be the probability and that is 1/4

(#M40000604) TCS QUESTION Keep an EYE

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 point 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 minimum value of n1(P) over all configurations P of 5 points in the plane in general position (.i.e no three points in P lie on a line) is
a) 3
b) 5
c) 2
d) 8

Solution

The meaning of this question is little complicated. In easy language the question should be:


There are some points in the plane. We have to make a separation between these points by forming a line in such a way that one point could be separate from the others. No 3 points are in a line. Maximum no of methods for plotting the line and minimum no of methods for plotting the line will be (arrangement of points is your choice)

Now Answer Is:

For Maximize: The number of methods, Points should be drawn in the circumference of the CIRCLE So answer would be the number of total point in the plane.

For minimize: The number of methods we should draw 3 points in a TRIANGLE and all other point inside this triangle in such a way that no 3 points could be in a line.

If it will be allowed to draw the points in a line then minimum possibilities will be 2 only, because if we take all points in a line then you can separate only the corner points from the others.

For example
If we have 10 points then maximum possibilities = 10
and minimum = 3

similarly for 5 points
Max = 5, Min = 3

for 19
max= 19 Min = 3
