Solution

The correct option is B. $\frac{5}{6}$
Since batsman plays $30$ balls the total number of trials $n (S) = 30$

Let E be the event of hitting a boundary

$∴ n (E) = 5$

The number of balls not hitting the target $n (E^{'}) = 25$

The probability he does not hit a boundary $= \frac{n (E^{'})}{n (S)} = \frac{25}{30} = \frac{5}{6}$
