Question

A coin is thrown and it lands on a chess board. Find the probability of it landing on a white square if it falls exactly inside a square.

Options:

A . 164

B . 132

C . 14

D . 12

Answer: Option D
:
D

Probability = \frac{Number of favourable outcomes}{Total Number of outcomes}

Number of white squares (favourable outcomes) = 32
Total number of squares or outcomes = 64
So probability of coin falling in a white square

= \frac{Number of white squares}{Total number of squares}

= \frac{32}{64}

= \frac{1}{2}
