3 similar DS problems and 1 PS problem. All based on probability. Unfortunately don't have the OAs
1.In a basket there are only apples, mangoes and oranges. What is the probability that a fruit randomly picked up from the basket is a mango?
(1)There are 40 apples and 90 oranges.
(2)10% of the fruits are apples and 25% of the fruits are oranges.
(A)Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient to answer the question asked.
(B)Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient to answer the question asked.
(C)BOTH statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question asked, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
(D)EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.
(E)Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient to answer the question asked, and additional data are needed.
2.In a basket there are only apples, mangoes and oranges. What is the probability that a fruit randomly picked up from the basket is a mango?
(1)The probability that a fruit randomly picked up from the basket is either an apple or an
orange is 13/40
(2)The probability of a fruit randomly picked up from the basket being an apple is 1/10 and that of
it being an orange is 9/40.
(A)Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient to answer the question asked.
(B)Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient to answer the question asked.
(C)BOTH statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question asked, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
(D)EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.
(E)Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient to answer the question asked, and additional data are needed.
3.In a basket there are only apples, oranges, and mangoes. What is the probability that a fruit randomly picked up from the basket is a mango?
(1)The probability that a fruit randomly picked up from the basket is either an apple or a mango
is 31/40
(2)The probability of a fruit randomly picked up from the basket being either an orange or
a mango is 9/10
(A)Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient to answer the question asked.
(B)Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient to answer the question asked.
(C)BOTH statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question asked, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
(D)EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.
(E)Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient to answer the question asked, and additional data are needed.
4.In a basket there are 4 apples, 9 oranges and remaining fruits are mangoes. If there are a total of 39 fruits in the basket, what is the probability that a fruit randomly picked up from the basket is a mango?
(A)4/39
(B)3/13
(C)1/3
(D)1/2
(E)2/3
