Number System
A bag contains four red, six black and seven green balls. Three balls are drawn randomly. What is the probability that the balls drawn contain exactly two red balls ?
Total balls = 4 + 6 + 7 = 17∴ n(S) = 17C1 = 680Two red balls can be selected from four red balls in 4C2 = 6 ways.and the third ball can be selected from the remaining 13 balls in 13C1 = 13 ways.∴ P (E) = 13x6/680 = 39/340
Let the greater and the smaller number be g and s respectively.gs = 2560g + s exceeds g - s by 64 i.e., g + s - (g - s) = 64i.e., 2s = 64 => s = 32.g = 2560/s = 80.
Let the number be 10x + y.∴ 10x + y - (10y + x) = 27or 9x - 9y = 27∴ x - y = 3 .......(I)x + y = 13 .......(II)From eqn (I) and (II)x = 8 and y = 5.So the number = 85Therefore, product = 8 x 5 = 40
