The sample space of a single throw of a fair six-faced die isIf a fair coin is tossed once, the probability of getting a HEAD isA fair die is rolled. The probability of getting an ODD number isTwo fair dice are rolled. The probability that the SUM of the numbers showing is 7 isFor any two events $A$ and $B$, the probability of $A \cup B$ (A or B) is given byA card is drawn from a well-shuffled standard deck of 52 cards. The probability of drawing a KING isA fair die is rolled. The probability of getting a PRIME number isThree fair coins are tossed simultaneously. The probability of getting EXACTLY two heads isA card is drawn from a standard deck of 52. The probability that it is a KING or a QUEEN isIf $P(A) = 0.4$ and $P(B) = 0.5$ and $P(A \cap B) = 0.2$, then $P(A \cup B)$ isWhat is the probability that a randomly drawn card from a 52-card deck is a FACE CARD (King, Queen, or Jack)?Two events $A$ and $B$ are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE ifTwo fair coins are tossed. The probability of getting AT LEAST ONE head isIf the probability that a student passes a CAT mock test is $0.6$, what is the probability that the student FAIf 0 < a < b and a^2 + b^2 = 50, ab = 7, what is b − a?If a = 2 and b = −3, value of a² − b²:An equation of the form ax + by + c = 0, with a and b not both zero, is a linear equation in:Substituting x = 1 and y = 1 in 2x + 3y = 5 gives 5, so this pair of values is:Each solution of a linear equation in two variables corresponds to:Two lines drawn in a plane can intersect, be coincident, or be:If the two lines of a pair of linear equations intersect at one point, the pair has:A pair of linear equations that has no solution is called:A pair of linear equations whose lines coincide has:A pair of equations which are equivalent, with infinitely many common solutions, is called:Akhila's rides and games gave x - 2y = 0 and 3x + 4y = 20. The lines meet at:From that solution, the number of rides Akhila had on the Giant Wheel was:Romila paid 9 for 2 pencils and 3 erasers; Sonali paid 18 for 4 pencils and 6 erasers. Their lines are:Two rails are x + 2y - 4 = 0 and 2x + 4y - 12 = 0. Do they cross?For x + 3y = 6 and 2x - 3y = 12, the common point is:If a1/a2 is not equal to b1/b2, the two lines are:If a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2, the two lines are:If a1/a2 = b1/b2 but this differs from c1/c2, the two lines are:A pair of linear equations that has a solution is called:A coach buys 3 bats and 6 balls for 3,900 and later 1 bat and 3 balls for 1,300. This is a situation of:2 kg apples with 1 kg grapes cost 160, and 4 kg apples with 2 kg grapes cost 300. The unknowns here are:Putting x = 0 in the equation 3x + 4y = 20 gives y equal to:Choosing y = 2 in 3x + 4y = 20 was preferred because it gives x as:The graphical representation of a linear equation in two variables is:
