GSM operators | GTN | PLO | Qtel | Cmob |
---|---|---|---|---|
No. of recharge cards | 5 | 6 | 3 | 6 |
The correct answer is C. 2/5
To find the probability that a recharge card selected at random will be either GTN or Qtel, we need to add the probabilities of selecting a GTN card and a Qtel card.
The total number of recharge cards is \(5 + 6 + 3 + 6 = 20\).
Probability of selecting a GTN card: \(\frac{\text{No. of GTN cards}}{\text{Total number of cards}} = \frac{5}{20} = \frac{1}{4}\).
Probability of selecting a Qtel card: \(\frac{\text{No. of Qtel cards}}{\text{Total number of cards}} = \frac{3}{20}\).
Now, add the probabilities:
Probability of selecting a GTN card OR a Qtel card \(= P(\text{GTN}) + P(\text{Qtel}) = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{3}{20} = \frac{5}{20} + \frac{3}{20} = \frac{8}{20}\).
Simplify the fraction:
\(\frac{8}{20} = \frac{2}{5}\).
Therefore, the probability that a recharge card selected at random will be GTN or Qtel is \(\frac{2}{5}\).
