A child’s game has 8 triangles of which 3 are blue and rest are red, and 10 squares of which 6 are blue and rest are red. One piece is lost at random. Find the probability that it is a
(i) triangle (ii) square (iii) square of blue colour (iv) triangle of red colour
. Total Pieces:
Triangles: 8
Squares: 10
Total: 8 + 10 = 18
Probabilities:
(i) Probability of losing a triangle:
Number of triangles: 8
Probability: 8 / 18 = 4/9
(ii) Probability of losing a square:
Number of squares: 10
Probability: 10 / 18 = 5/9
(iii) Probability of losing a blue square:
Number of blue squares: 6
Probability: 6 / 18 = 1/3
(iv) Probability of losing a red triangle:
Number of red triangles: 8 – 3 = 5
Probability: 5 / 18
