8a + 4b – c =7 (=) 8a – c = 7 – 4b ……………………… (ii)
Squaring both sides equations (i) & (ii) and then added the result we get
a2 + 64c2 + 16ac = 16 + 49b2 + 56b
64a2 + c2 – 16ac = 49 + 16b2 – 56b
65 (a2 + c2) = 65 (1 + b2)
a2 + c2 – b2 = 1.

13. xyz + xy + yz + xz + x + y + z = 384
[ (1 + x)(1 + y)(1 + z) = 1 + xyz + xy + yz + zx + x + y + z]
xyz + xy + yz + xz + x + y + z + 1 = 385
(1 + x)(1 + y)(1 + z) = 385 = 5 × 77

Compare both sides
x= 4 [These values are not fixed. Because in multiplication, order does not matter]

73. In the given quadratic equation x 2  bx  c  0.
The sum of the roots p + q – b …(i)
And the product of the roots pq = c …(ii)
We have to formulate a quadratic equation whose roots are (pq + p + q) and (pq – p – q).
The sum of the two roots = pq + p + q + pq – p – q = 2pq
But from eqn. (ii), we know that pq = c
Therefore, the sum of the roots = 2c
The product of the roots = (pq + p + q) (pq – p – q) = (pq)2 – (p + q)2
From equation (i) and (ii), we know that pq = c and p + q = b
Therefore, the product of the roots = c2 – b2
We know the sum of the roots and the product of the roots.
Therefore, the quadratic equation is x2 – (sum of the roots) x + product of the roots = 0

Possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, … 90

Total number of possible outcomes = 90
Two digit numbers from 1 to 90 are 10, 11, 12, … 90
Thus, the number of favorable ways of ‘getting a two digit number’ = 81
Number of outcomes favourable to E
P  E 
Total number of possible outcomes
Hence, P (a two digit number) = 81/90 = 9/10

Or
One digit numbers from 1 to 90 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Thus, the number of favourable ways of ‘getting a one digit number’ = 9
P(a one digit number) = 9/90 = 1/10
P(not a one digit number) = 1 – P(a one digit number)

 P(a two digit number) = 1 – 1/10 = 9/10
Hence, P(a two digit number) = 9/10.

When a coin is tossed three times, possible outcomes are

HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT.
total number of possible outcomes = 8
Hanif will lose the game if all the tosses do not give the same result,
i.e., three heads or three tails.
So, favourable outcomes are HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH.
Thus, the number of favourable outcomes = 6
Hence, P(Hanif will lose the game) = 6/8 = 3/4.
26. (C)
27. When three coins are tossed together the possible outcomes are HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH
and TTT.

Favourable events of at last one head and one tail HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH
Number of favourable outcomes = 6.

Outcome favourable to the event ‘5 will come up at least once’ are
(1, 5), (2, 5), (3, 5), (4, 5), (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6) and (6, 5)
Thus, the number of favourable ways of ‘5 coming up at least once’ = 11
P  E 
Hence, P(5 will come up at least once) = 11/36

29. (B)
total number of possible outcomes = 36
outcomes favourable to the event ‘getting a doublet of odd numbers’ are (1, 1), (3, 3) and (5, 5).
Thus, the number of favourable ways of ‘getting a doublet of odd numbers’ = 3
P  E 
Hence, P (getting a doublet of odd numbers) = 3/36 = 1/12.
30. (C)
Total number of possible outcomes in a single throw of three dice = 63 = 216.

Outcomes favourable to the event ‘getting a total of 17 or 18’ are
(5, 6, 6) (6, 5, 6) (6, 6, 5) and (6, 6, 6)
Thus, the number of favourable ways of ‘getting a total of 17 or 18’ = 4
P  E 
Hence, P(a total of 17 or 18) = 4/216 = 1/54.

Mallica may have any one of 365 days as her birthday. Deepica may also have any one of the 365 days as

Total number of possible outcomes = 52 ways
There are four ace and four king in a deck of 52 cards = 4 + 4 = 8
neither an ace nor a king = 52 – 8 = 44
P(neither a ace nor a king) = 44/52 = 11/13.
34. (C)
Remaining cards = 52 – (2 + 2) = 48
Required probability
=P(a king or queen) = (4+2)/48 = 6/48 = 1/8.
35. (C)
Number of cards left in the deck = 52 – 3 = 49
Thus, the number of favourable ways of ‘getting a king’ = 3
Hence, P(a king) = 3/49
