Let the price of a pen be 'x' and that of pencil be 'y' Then 87x + 29y = 783Multiplying eqn (i) by 30/29 we get (87x) x 30/29 + (29y) 30/29 = 783 x 30/29∴ 90x + 30y = 810
Let the consecutive odd number be x, x + 2, x + 4 and x + 6 respectively.According to the question x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 104 = 4x + 12 = 104 = 4x = 104 - 12 = 92∴ x = 92/4 = 23∴ Required number = x + 4= 23 + 4 = 27
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
