Bank PO Level Questions :-
- A box contains 27 marbles some are blue and others are green. If a marble is drawn at random from the box, the probability that it is blue is 1/3. Then how many number of green marbles in the box?
A. 10
B. 15
C. 14
D. 18Answer – D. 18
Explanation :
Blue marble – x
xc1/27c1 = 1/3
x/27=1/3 —> x=27/3=9
No of green marbles = Total – Blue marble =27-9=18 - In a bag there are 4 white, 4 red and 2 green balls. Two balls are drawn at random.What is the probability that at least one ball is of red colour?
A. 4/3
B. 7/3
C. 1/3
D. 2/3Answer – D. 2/3
Explanation :
Total Balls =10
Other than red ball = 6c2
6c2/10c2=1/3 —> 1-1/3 = 2/3 - Sahil has two bags (A & B) that contain green and blue balls.In the Bag ‘A’ there are 6 green and 8 blue balls and in the Bag ‘B’ there are 6 green and 6 blue balls. One ball is drawn out from any of these two bags. What is the probability that the ball drawn is blue?

B. 13/28
C. 17/28
D. 23/28Answer – A. 15/28
Explanation :
Total balls in A bag = 14, Total balls in A bag = 12
A bag = 1/2(8c1/14c1) = 2/7
B bag = 1/2(6c1/12c1) = 1/4 —> total Probability = 2/7 + 1/4 =15/28 - In an examination, there are three sections namely Reasoning, Maths and English. Reasoning part contains 4 questions.

Explanation :
Total Marbles = 12
other than blue 8c3 / 12c3 = 14/55
probability = 1-14/55 = 41/55 - A basket contains 5 red 4 blue 3 green marbles. If two marbles picked up random, What is the probability that both are red?
A. 4/33
B. 5/33
