Question

A shopkeeper has deposited all of the old toys in his shop into a basket and put it for sale at the rate of Rs. 99 per toy. There are three less Pokemon toys than Barbie toys and five more Pokemon toys than Lego toys. If there are a total of 17 Pokemon toys, what is the probability of drawing a Lego toy at random? (There are no other toys in the basket than the ones mentioned in the question)

• A. $\frac{3}{19}$
• B. $\frac{7}{29}$
• C. $\frac{12}{49}$
• D. $\frac{17}{29}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{12}{49}$

Number of Pokemon toys = 17
Number of Lego toys = n-5 = 12
Total number of toys = 17 + 12 + (17+3) = 49
Probability of drawing a Lego toy = $\frac{12}{49}$
