JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 13. probability

If a point \(A ( x , y )\) lies in the region bounded by the \(y\)-axis, straight lines \(2 y+x=6\) and \(5 x-6 y=30\), then the probability that \(y <1\) is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{6}\)
  2. B \(\frac{5}{6}\)
  3. C \(\frac{2}{3}\)
  4. D \(\frac{6}{7}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{5}{6}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Required probability \(=\frac{\operatorname{ar}( ADEC )}{\operatorname{ar}( ABC )}\) \(=1-\frac{\operatorname{ar}( BDE )}{\operatorname{ar}( ABC )}\) \(=1-\frac{\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 4}{\frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 6}=1-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{5}{6}\)
