We hav three cans 16 litres, 7 litres, and 3 litres right...We wanna give 11 litres of milk using these 3 cans....Take first 7 litres can and add the milk to the container...now the contaier has 7 litres of milk..remaining is 4 litres...take 16 litres can and fill the can with the milk...using 3 litres can, take the milk from 16 litres can 4 times which means 12 litres of milk..therefore the left out milk in the 16 litres can is 4 litres..add tat milk to the container..now the total milk in the container is 11 litres

Answers

1. the probability is 0.5 (1/2).
Since the coin can be any one of the 2.
therefore, total sample space = 2
favourable case =1.

2. 3 picks would ensure that we get atleast one pair.

3. take 7L with help of one can.
Then take 7L in that can. Pour 3L in the 3L can.
Give remaining milk in 7L can (4L) to customer.
7+4=11

obviously 0.5 is the probability

here a coin is taken at random and head is found for selecting a coin from 2 coins the probability is 1/2
and a head is already found in 1 side and the probability of getting tail on other side is
1st coin-0
2nd coin -1
so total probability is 1/2(1+0)=1/2

picking up sox here 12 black and 12 white are there soo we have to make a black and white pair so
1st selectting black from 12 black sox 12c1
2nd selecting white from 12 white sox 12c1
cumulation total successful pickups-12ci*12c1=144

RE: Two coins one with HEAD IN BOTH SIDES and the other coin HEAD IN ONE SIDE AND TAIL IN THE OTHER SIDE is in a box,a coin is taken at random and FOUND HEAD IN ONE SIDE .what is the probability that THE OTHER SIDE IS HEAD?
1) The probability of selecting one coin is 1/2(which is already completed)
now.. The probability of having head on other side is (1/2) since only one coin has head. Therefore the prob. that head on other side is 1/2(second value from above explanation)


2) selecting 2 black ones is (no of ways) : 12c2

selecting 2 white ones is :12c2

therefore, selecting a pair of particular color is 12c2+12c2 = 66+66 = 132

selecting 1 black & one white is : 12c1*12c1 == 144

Lets assume worst case (which is required)

since 144 is greater than 132. 

the first pick will be black & white, 2nd pick is also black & white ,3rd will be black or white, no of picks required : 3


3) use 7 lt can and pour milk in 16lt can, now take milk in 7lt can, take 3lt from that 7lt can, 7lt can will have 4 lts in it, pour that 4 lt in 16lt can, it has 7(previous)+4(later) in it...

i guess we have to use the formula ncx p^x q^(n-x)
where n =2 which is the no of coins
2c1(.5)(.5)
so probability of gettin head on both sides is 0.5

RE: Two coins one with HEAD IN BOTH SIDES and the other coin HEAD IN ONE SIDE AND TAIL IN THE OTHER SIDE is in a box,a coin is taken at random and FOUND HEAD IN ONE SIDE .what is the probability that THE OTHER SIDE IS HEAD?
Answer is 3/8.
probability to come head on face is 3/4. but the question is what is the probability that other side is head?
since there are 2 coins, in which 1 had both side head and 2nd have one head n one tell. so the probability for other side to come head is 3/4 * 1/2 = 3/8
 if i am wrong, please correct me!!!!
