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
