      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 5 times out of 21 hits, then find the probability of A breaking the bulb.
      A 19/231 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 18/231 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 10/231 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 20/231 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 = 5/21 = 5/21 Probability of A breaking the bulb = (4/11) × (5/21) = 20/231
