13. Mohan has a box of coloured pens. He takes a pen at random from the box. The probability that he takes a red pen is 0.4. If the box contains total 50 pens of blue, green and red colours, and there are 15 blue pens and some green pens, then answer the following :(1) The no of red pen in the box are:(a) 15(b) 20(c) 25(ii) The probability of taking a green pen is:(a) 0.6(b) 0.4(c) 0.5(iv) The probability of taking a blue or green pen is(a) 0.3(b) 0.4(c) 0.5(d) 0.6 ​

Answer:

1. (b) 20(ii) none of the given(iii) (a) 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = No. of favourable outcomes / Total no. of outcomesSo, taking the probability of taking a red pen,Let the number of red pens be x and green pens be y.0.4 = x / 50 0.4 x 50 = x20 = xTherefore, there are 20 red pensNo. of green pens = 50 - (20 + 15) (Red pens + Blue pens)y = 50 - 35y = 15Therefore there are 15 green pensSubstituting the probability formula for (ii) bit,Probability = 15 / 50 = 0.3So, for (ii) bit, the correct answer is not in options(iv) the answer is 0.3

Answer:

(1) 20 (2) none of the above (3) 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

total no. of pens = 50 pens

                               Blue - 15

                               Green - 15

                                Red - 20
