• We learn the basic concepts of Probability learnt in Classes 10 and 11.
• These are useful in the GRE QUANT section as well.
Question 1
A coin is tossed twice. What is the probability of getting at least one tail?
Question 2
If odds in favour of an event are 2:1, what is the probability of the event?
Question 3
If 6 persons sit in a row, what is the probability that A and B are sitting on adjacent
seats?
Question 4
2 cards are drawn at random from a well shuffled pack of 52 cards. Find the probability
that one is red and the other black.
Question 5
In a group there are 3 men and 2 women. 3 persons are selected at random. Find the
probability that the group consists of 1 man and 2 women or 2 men and 1 woman.
Question 6
