In a class consisting of 40 boys and 30 girls. $30 \%$ of the boys and $40 \%$ of the girls are good at Mathematics. If a student selected at random from that class is found to be a girl, then the probability that she is not good at Mathematics is
  1. $\frac{3}{5}$
  2. $\frac{2}{5}$
  3. $\frac{3}{10}$
  4. $\frac{7}{10}$

Solution

$40 \%$ of girls are good in maths $\Rightarrow \frac{40}{100} \times 30=12$ girls are good in maths 18 girls are not good at mathematics Required probability $=\frac{18}{30}=\frac{3}{5}$
