In a car park 125 cars , 3p motorbikes , 2q lorries and 20 buses. One of vehicle leave the park at random . probability that the vehicle is a motorbike = 3/40 & bus = 1/10
The values of p and q.
Cars - 125
Motorbikes - 3p
lorries - 2q
Buses - 20
Total = 125 + 3p + 2q + 20
= 145 + 3p + 2q
Probability of motorbike = 3p/( 145 + 3p + 2q) = 3/40
=> 40 p = 145 + 3p + 2q
=> 37p - 145 = 2q
=> 37p - 2q = 145
Probability of bus = 20/( 145 + 3p + 2q) = 1/10
=> 200 = 145 + 3p + 2q
=> 55 - 3p = 2q
=> 3p + 2q = 55
Adding both
40p = 200
=> p = 5
=> 3 * 5 + 2q = 55
=>2q = 40
=> q = 20
37p - 2q = 145 ,
3p + 2q = 55
p = 5 , q = 20
