Question

In a basket, there are 20 mangoes, 30 oranges and 10 guava. Find the probability of picking up the following: (i) An orange (ii) A fruit other than orange (iii) A mango.

Answer 1

Answer:

1) The probability of picking up an orange.

=Total orange÷Total fruits

=30÷60

=1:2 will be the probability of picking up an orange.

2) The probability of picking up a fruit other than orange.

=Total mangoes+Total guava÷Total fruits

=20+10÷60

=30÷60

=1:2 will be the probability of picking up a fruit other than Orange.

3) The probability of picking up an mango.

=Total mangoes÷Total fruits

=20÷60

=1:3 will be the probability of picking up an mango.
