Q.

Two integers x and y are chosen with replacement from the set {0, 1, 2, 3,…,10}. Then the probability that |x-y|>5, is                  [2024]

1 60121  
2 31121  
3 62121  
4 30121  

Ans.

(4)

Let E={(x,y):|x-y|>5} and x,y{0,1,2,,10}

E={(0,6),(0,7),(0,8),(0,9),(0,10),(1,7),(1,8),(1,9),(1,10),(2,8),(2,9),(2,10),(3,9),(3,10),(4,10),(6,0),(7,0),(8,0),(9,0),(10,0),(7,1),(8,1),(9,1),(10,1),(8,2),(9,2),(10,2),(9,3),(10,3),(10,4)}

   n(E)=30

Total number of possible outcomes =11×11=121

    Required probability=30121
