Answer:
Black balls = 5
Red balls = 5
Total balls = 10
CASE 1 Let red ball be drawn in first attempt.
$P(drawing\, red\, ball)=\frac{5}{10}=\frac{1}{2}$
Now two red balls are added in urn .
Now red balls = 7, black balls = 5
Total balls = 12
$P(drawing\, red\, ball)=\frac{7}{12}$
CASE 2
Let black ball be drawn in first attempt.
$P(drawing\, black\, ball)=\frac{5}{10}=\frac{1}{2}$
Now two black balls are added in urn .
Now red balls = 5, black balls = 7
Total balls = 12
$P(drawing\, red\, ball)=\frac{5}{12}$
the probability that the second ball is red =
$=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{7}{12}+\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{5}{12}$
$= \frac{7}{24}+ \frac{5}{24}$
$= \frac{12}{24}=\frac{1}{2}$
Answer:
BAG 1 : Red balls =4 Black balls=4 Total balls = 8
BAG 2 : Red balls = 2 Black balls = 6 Total balls = 8
B1 : selecting bag 1
B2 : selecting bag 2
$P(B1)=P(B2)=\frac{1}{2}$
Let R be a event of getting red ball
$P(R|B1) = P(drawing\, \, red\, \, ball\, \, from \, first \, \, bag)= \frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}$
$P(R|B2) = P(drawing\, \, red\, \, ball\, \, from \, second \, \, bag)= \frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{4}$
probability that the ball is drawn from the first bag,
given that it is red is $P(B1|R)$.
Using Baye's theorem, we have
$P(B1|R) = \frac{P(B1).P(R|B1)}{P(B1).P(R|B1)+P(B2).P(R|B2)}$
$P(B1|R) = \frac{\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{4}}$
$P(B1|R) =\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{8}}$
$P(B1|R) =\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{3}{8}}$
$P(B1|R) = \frac{2}{3}$
Answer:
H : reside in hostel
D : day scholars
A : students who attain grade A
$P(H)=\frac{60}{100}=\frac{6}{10}=\frac{3}{5}$
$P(D)=\frac{40}{100}=\frac{4}{10}=\frac{2}{5}$
$P(A|H)=\frac{30}{100}=\frac{3}{10}$
$P(A|D)=\frac{20}{100}=\frac{2}{10}= \frac{1}{5}$
By Bayes theorem :
$P(H|A)=\frac{P(H).P(A|H)}{P(H).P(A|H)+P(D).P(A|D)}$
$P(H|A)=\frac{\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{3}{10}}{\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{3}{10}+\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{1}{5}}$
$P(H|A)=\frac{\frac{9}{50}}{\frac{9}{50}+\frac{2}{25}}$
$P(H|A)=\frac{\frac{9}{50}}{\frac{13}{50}}$
$P(H|A)=\frac{9}{13}$
Answer:
A : Student knows answer.
B : Student guess the answer
C : Answer is correct
$P(A)=\frac{3}{4}$ $P(B)=\frac{1}{4}$
$P(C|A)=1$
$P(C|B)=\frac{1}{4}$
By Bayes theorem :
$P(A|C)=\frac{P(A).P(C|A)}{P(A).P(C|A)+P(B).P(C|B)}$
$P(A|C)=\frac{\frac{3}{4}\times 1}{\frac{3}{4}\times 1+\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}}$
$=\frac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{16}}$ $=\frac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{13}{16}}$
$P(A|C)=\frac{12}{13}$
Answer:
A : Person selected is having the disease
B : Person selected is not having the disease.
C :Blood result is positive.
$P(A)= 0.1 \%=\frac{1}{1000}=0.001$
$P(B)= 1 -P(A)=1-0.001=0.999$
$P(C|A)=99\%=0.99$
$P(C|B)=0.5\%=0.005$
By Bayes theorem :
$P(A|C)=\frac{P(A).P(C|A)}{P(A).P(C|A)+P(B).P(C|B)}$
$=\frac{0.001\times 0.99}{0.001\times 0.99+0.999\times 0.005}$
$=\frac{0.00099}{0.00099+0.004995}$
$=\frac{0.00099}{0.005985}$ $=\frac{990}{5985}$
$=\frac{22}{133}$
Answer:
Given : A : chossing a two headed coin
B : chossing a biased coin
C : chossing a unbiased coin
$P(A)=P(B)=P(C)=\frac{1}{3}$
D : event that coin tossed show head.
$P(D|A)=1$
Biased coin that comes up heads $75^{o}/_{o}$ of the time.
$P(D|B)=\frac{75}{100}=\frac{3}{4}$
$P(D|C)=\frac{1}{2}$
$P(B|D)=\frac{P(B).P(D|B)}{P(B).P(D|B)+P(A).P(D|A)+P(C).P(D|C)}$
$P(B|D)=\frac{\frac{1}{3}\times 1}{\frac{1}{3}\times 1+\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{1}{2}}$
$P(B|D)=\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{6}}$
$P(B|D)=\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{9}{12}}$
$P(B|D)={\frac{1\times 12}{3\times 9}}$
$P(B|D)={\frac{4}{9}}$
Answer:
Let A : scooter drivers = 2000
B : car drivers = 4000
C : truck drivers = 6000
Total drivers = 12000
$P(A)=\frac{2000}{12000}=\frac{1}{6}=0.16$
$P(B)=\frac{4000}{12000}=\frac{1}{3}=0.33$
$P(C)=\frac{6000}{12000}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5$
D : the event that person meets with an accident.
$P(D|A)= 0.01$
$P(D|B)= 0.03$
$P(D|C)= 0.15$
$P(A|D)=\frac{P(A).P(D|A)}{P(B).P(D|B)+P(A).P(D|A)+P(C).P(D|C)}$
$P(A|D)= \frac{0.16\times 0.01}{0.16\times 0.01+0.33\times 0.03+0.5\times 0.15}$
$P(A|D)= \frac{0.0016}{0.0016+0.0099+0.075}$
$P(A|D)= \frac{0.0016}{0.0865}$
$P(A|D)= 0.019$
Answer:
A : Items produced by machine A $=60\%$
B : Items produced by machine B$=40\%$
$P(A)= \frac{60}{100}=\frac{3}{5}$
$P(B)= \frac{40}{100}=\frac{2}{5}$
X : Produced item found to be defective.
$P(X|A)= \frac{2}{100}=\frac{1}{50}$
$P(X|B)= \frac{1}{100}$
$P(B|X)= \frac{P(B).P(X|B)}{P(B).P(X|B)+P(A).P(X|A)}$
$P(B|X)= \frac{\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{1}{100}}{\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{1}{100}+\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{50}}$
$P(B|X)= \frac{\frac{1}{250}}{\frac{1}{250}+\frac{3}{250}}$
$P(B|X)= \frac{\frac{1}{250}}{\frac{4}{250}}$
$P(B|X)= \frac{1}{4}$
Hence, the probability that defective item was produced by machine $B$ =
$P(B|X)= \frac{1}{4}$.
Answer:
A: the first groups will win
B: the second groups will win
$P(A)=0.6$
$P(B)=0.4$
X: Event of introducing a new product.
Probability of introducing a new product if the first group wins : $P(X|A)=0.7$
Probability of introducing a new product if the second group wins : $P(X|B)=0.3$
$P(B|X)= \frac{P(B).P(X|B)}{P(B).P(X|B)+P(A).P(X|A)}$
$p(B|X) = \frac{0.4\times 0.3}{0.4\times 0.3+0.6\times 0.7}$
$p(B|X) = \frac{0.12}{0.12+0.42}$
$p(B|X) = \frac{0.12}{0.54}$
$p(B|X) = \frac{12}{54}$
$p(B|X) = \frac{2}{9}$
Hence, the probability that the new product introduced was by the second group :
$p(B|X) = \frac{2}{9}$
Answer:
Let, A: Outcome on die is 5 or 6.
B: Outcome on die is 1,2,3,4
$P(A)=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$
$P(B)=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}$
X: Event of getting exactly one head.
Probability of getting exactly one head when she tosses a coin three times : $P(X|A)=\frac{3}{8}$
Probability of getting exactly one head when she tosses a coin one time : $P(X|B)=\frac{1}{2}$
$P(B|X)= \frac{P(B).P(X|B)}{P(B).P(X|B)+P(A).P(X|A)}$
$P(B|X)= \frac{\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{1}{2}}{\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{3}{8}}$
$P(B|X)= \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{8}}$
$P(B|X)= \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{11}{24}}$
$P(B|X)= \frac{1\times 24}{3\times 11}=\frac{8}{11}$
Hence, the probability that she threw $1,2,3$ or $4$ with the die =
$P(B|X)=\frac{8}{11}$
Answer:
Let A: time consumed by machine A $=50\%$
B: time consumed by machine B$=30\%$
C: time consumed by machine C $=20\%$
Total drivers = 12000
$P(A)=\frac{50}{100}=\frac{1}{2}$
$P(B)=\frac{30}{100}=\frac{3}{10}$
$P(C)=\frac{20}{100}=\frac{1}{5}$
D: Event of producing defective items
$P(D|A)= \frac{1}{100}$
$P(D|B)= \frac{5}{100}$
$P(D|C)= \frac{7}{100}$
$P(A|D)=\frac{P(A).P(D|A)}{P(B).P(D|B)+P(A).P(D|A)+P(C).P(D|C)}$
$P(A|D)=\frac{\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{100}}{\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{100}+\frac{3}{10}\times \frac{5}{100}+\frac{1}{5}\times \frac{7}{100}}$
$P(A|D)=\frac{\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{100}}{\frac{1}{100} (\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{2}+\frac{7}{5})}$
$P(A|D)=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{ (\frac{17}{5})}$
$P(A|D)= \frac{5}{34}$
Hence, the probability that defective item was produced by $A$ =
$P(A|D)= \frac{5}{34}$
Answer:
Let A : Event of choosing a diamond card.
B : Event of not choosing a diamond card.
$P(A)=\frac{13}{52}=\frac{1}{4}$
$P(B)=\frac{39}{52}=\frac{3}{4}$
X : The lost card.
If lost card is diamond then 12 diamond cards are left out of 51 cards.
Two diamond cards are drawn out of 12 diamond cards in $^{12}\textrm{C}_2$ ways.
Similarly, two cards are drawn out of 51 cards in $^{51}\textrm{C}_2$ ways.
Probablity of getting two diamond cards when one diamond is lost : $P(X|A)= \frac{^{12}\textrm{C}_2}{^{51}\textrm{C}_2}$
$P(X|A)=\frac{12!}{10!\times 2!}\times \frac{49!\times 2!}{51!}$
$P(X|A)=\frac{11\times 12}{50\times 51}$
$P(X|A)=\frac{22}{425}$
If lost card is not diamond then 13 diamond cards are left out of 51 cards.
Two diamond cards are drawn out of 13 diamond cards in $^{13}\textrm{C}_2$ ways.
Similarly, two cards are drawn out of 51 cards in $^{51}\textrm{C}_2$ ways.
Probablity of getting two diamond cards when one diamond is not lost : $P(X|B)= \frac{^{13}\textrm{C}_2}{^{51}\textrm{C}_2}$
$P(X|B)=\frac{13!}{11!\times 2!}\times \frac{49!\times 2!}{51!}$
$P(X|B)=\frac{13\times 12}{50\times 51}$
$P(X|B)=\frac{26}{425}$
The probability of the lost card being a diamond : $P(B|X)$
$P(B|X)= \frac{P(B).P(X|B)}{P(B).P(X|B)+P(A).P(X|A)}$
$P(B|X)= \frac{\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{22}{425}}{\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{22}{425}+\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{26}{425}}$
$P(B|X)= \frac{\frac{11}{2}}{25}$
$P(B|X)= \frac{11}{50}$
Hence, the probability of the lost card being a diamond :
$P(B|X)= \frac{11}{50}$
(A) $\frac{4}{5}$
(B) $\frac{1}{2}$
C) $\frac{1}{5}$
(D) $\frac{2}{5}$
Answer:
Let A : A speaks truth
B : A speaks false
$P(A)=\frac{4}{5}$
$P(B)=1-\frac{4}{5}=\frac{1}{5}$
X : Event that head appears.
A coin is tossed , outcomes are head or tail.
Probability of getting head whether A speaks thruth or not is $\frac{1}{2}$
$P(X|A)=P(X|B)=\frac{1}{2}$
$P(A|X)= \frac{P(A).P(X|A)}{P(B).P(X|B)+P(A).P(X|A)}$
$P(A|X)= \frac{\frac{4}{5}\times \frac{1}{2}}{\frac{4}{5}\times \frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{5}\times \frac{1}{2}}$
$P(A|X)= \frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{4}{5}+\frac{1}{5}}$
$P(A|X)= \frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{1}}$
$P(A|X)={\frac{4}{5}}$
The probability that actually there was head is $P(A|X)={\frac{4}{5}}$
Hence, option A is correct.
Question 14: If $A$ and $B$ are two events such that $A\subset B$ and $P(B)\neq 0,$ then which of the following is correct?
(A) $P(A\mid B)=\frac{P(B)}{P(A)}$
(B) $P(A\mid B)< P(A)$
(C) $P(A\mid B)\geq P(A)$
(D) None of these
Answer:
If $A\subset B$ and $P(B)\neq 0,$then
$\Rightarrow \, \, \, (A\cap B) = A$
Also, $P(A)< P(B)$
$P(A|B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}=\frac{P(A)}{P(B)}$
We know that $P(B)\leq 1$
$1\leq \frac{1}{P(B)}$
$P(A)\leq \frac{P(A)}{P(B)}$
$P(A)\leq P(A|B)$
Hence, we can see option C is correct.

Hello
Yes, if you’re not satisfied with your marks even after the improvement exam, many education boards allow you to reappear as a private candidate next year to improve your scores. This means you can register independently, study at your own pace, and take the exams without attending regular classes. It’s a good option to improve your results and open up more opportunities for higher studies or careers. Just make sure to check the specific rules and deadlines of your education board so you don’t miss the registration window. Keep your focus, and you will do better next time.
Hello Aspirant,
Yes, in the case that you appeared for the 2025 improvement exam and your roll number is different from what was on the previous year’s marksheet, the board will usually release a new migration certificate. This is because the migration certificate will reflect the most recent exam details, roll number and passing year. You can apply to get it from your board using the process prescribed by them either online or through your school/college.
Yes, if you miss the 1st CBSE exam due to valid reasons, then you can appear for the 2nd CBSE compartment exam.
From the academic year 2026, the board will conduct the CBSE 10th exam twice a year, while the CBSE 12th exam will be held once, as per usual. For class 10th, the second phase exam will act as the supplementary exam.

You can prepare effectively and appear in the compartment examination for mathematics again. If you do not wish to continue with the current stream, you can take readmission in the Humanities stream and start from Class 11th again, and continue studying for two more years to qualify for the 12th examination.
The GUJCET Merit List is prepared based on the Class 12th marks and GUJCET marks received by the students. CBSE students who are not from the Gujarat board can definitely compete with GSEB students, as their eligibility is decided based on the combined marks scored by them in GUJCET and the 12th board.
