      Question

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

      he hits the bulb 5 times in every 15 throws and bulb breaks 5 times out of 20 hits, then find the probability of A breaking the bulb.
      A 1/10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 1/14 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 1/12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 1/11 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Probability of A hitting the bulb = 5/15 = 1/3 Probability of the bulb being broke on getting hit = 5/20 = 1/4 Probability of A breaking the bulb = (1/3) × (1/4) = 1/12
