    79. Given, Men having grey hair =5%

    Women having grey hair =0.25%

    Total people with grey hair = (5+0.25)% =5.25%

    Probability that the selected person’s hair is of male =55.25=11.05=100105=2021

P (2 obtained on even numbered toss) = k (let)

P (2) = 1 6  

P (  2 ¯ )= 5 6  

k = 5 6 × 1 6 + ( 5 6 ) 3 × 1 6 + ( 5 6 ) 5 × 1 6 + . . .

= 5 6 × 1 6 1 ( 5 6 ) 2

If x = 0, y = 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

If x = 1, y = 7, 8, 9, 10

If x = 2, y = 8, 9, 10

If x = 3, y = 9, 10

If x = 4, y = 10

If x = 5, y = no possible value

ax2 + bx + c = 0

D = b2 – 4ac

D = 0

b2 – 4ac = 0

b2 = 4ac

(i) AC = 1, b = 2 (1, 2, 1) is one way

(ii) AC = 4, b = 4

a = 4 c = 1 a = 2 c = 2 a = 1 c = 4 } 3 w a y s

(iii) AC = 9, b = 6, a = 3, c = 3 is one way
