      Question

      A is trying to break a bulb by throwing balls at it. If

      he hits the bulb 5 times in every 10 throws and bulb breaks 6 times out of 15 hits, then find the probability of A breaking the bulb.
      A 2/5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 3/5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 1/5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 1/4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Probability of A hitting the bulb = 5/10 = 1/2 Probability of the bulb being broke on getting hit = 6/15 = 2/5 Probability of A breaking the bulb = (1/2) Γ— (2/5) = 1/5
