Mathematics Question on Probability
Three urns A,B and C contain 4 red, 6 black; 5 red, 5 black; and λ red, 4 black balls respectively One of the urns is selected at random and a ball is drawn If the ball drawn is red and the probability that it is drawn from urn C is 0.4 then the square of the length of the side of the largest equilateral triangle, inscribed in the parabola y2=λx with one vertex at the vertex of the parabola, is
Answer
The correct answer is 432
P(RC)=P(A)P(AR)+P(B)P(BR)+P(C)P(CR)P(C)P(CR)
0.4=31×104+31×105+31(λ+4)λ31×(λ+4)λ
⇒λ=6
tan30∘=3t=23t2
31=t2
t=23
(23t2,3t)=(18,63)
ℓ2=182+(63)2
=324+108
=432
