Given cards with numbers 5 to 50

Total number of cards =46

(i) Prime numbers b/w 5 and 10 \Rightarrow \frac{prime \; no.\; b/w\; 5\; to\; 10 }{total\; no.\; of\; cards}

\Rightarrow \frac{2}{46}=\frac{1}{23}

(ii) Cards with perfect square b/w 5 and 50

\Rightarrow 9,16,25,36,49

n(A)= No. of cards with perfect squares=5

n(T)= total no. of cards =46

\Rightarrow P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(T)}=\frac{5}{46}
