      Question

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

      he hits the bulb 4 times in every 11 throws and bulb breaks 4 times out of 20 hits, then find the probability of A breaking the bulb.
      A 3/55 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 4/50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 4/55 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 3/50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Probability of A hitting the bulb = 4/11  Probability of the bulb being broke on getting hit = 4/20 = 1/5 Probability of A breaking the bulb = (4/11) × (1/5) = 4/55
