Will be a fifty-paise coin = Answer: 1930

Will not be a five-ruoees coin = Answer: 1920


SOLUTION 1 :

Sample space, S has 300 coins which 15 fifty-paise coins, 60 one rupee coins, 35 two rupees coins and 15 five rupee coins.

n(S) = 190 + 60 + 35 + 15

       =  300.

 (i) .... Let A be the event of taking one coin which is fifty-paise coin.

n(A) = 300.

P(A) = n(A) / n(S) = 190300 = 1930

(ii) ..... Let B be the event of taking one coin which is not a five rupee coin.

n(B) = n(S) - 15

       = 300 - 15 = 285.

P(B) = n(B) / n(S) = 285300 =   1920 .
