      Question

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

      he hits the bulb 4 times in every 12 throws and bulb breaks 3 times out of 15 hits, then find the probability of A breaking the bulb.
      A 1/10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 1/12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 1/15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 1/16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Probability of A hitting the bulb = 4/12 = 1/3 Probability of the bulb being broke on getting hit = 3/15 = 1/5 Probability of A breaking the bulb = (1/3) × (1/5) = 1/15
