JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Probability Question Bank Self Evaluation Test - Probability-I

  • question_answer
    A point is selected at random from the interior of a circle. The probability that the point is close to the centre, then the boundary of the circle, is

    A) \[\frac{3}{4}\]

    B) \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{4}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[n(S)=\] the area of the circle of radius r \[n(E)=\] the area of the circle of radius \[\frac{r}{2}\] \[\therefore \] The probability \[=\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}=\frac{\pi {{\left( \frac{r}{2} \right)}^{2}}}{\pi {{r}^{2}}}=\frac{1}{4}.\]
