A box contains 25 red balls and 20 blue balls. An unbiased die is rolled, if the result is an even number, then 3 red balls and 1 blue ball are taken out from the box without replacement and if the result is an odd number, then 2 blue balls and 1 red ball are taken out from the box without replacement. If the die is rolled 4 times, then what is the probability that the total number of red balls, which are taken out, is more than the number of blue balls, which are taken out ?

For any set of n positive numbers , Arithmetic Mean >= Geometric Mean >=Harmonic mean

The equality occurs only when all the numbers are equal .

This can be used if the sum(or product ) of some numbers are given and the maximum(or minimum) value of the product(or sum ) is asked ... Ex : xy=27

minimum value of 3x+4y ?

taking 3x and 4y to be two numbers and applying our rule A.M : (3x+4y)/2

G.M : (12xy)^1/2=(4*3*27)^1/2 = 18 A.M >= GM 3x+4y >= 2*18 Hence the

minimum value of (3x+4y) is 36

##Basic Concept Fundas##

1. If there are n number of straight lines , They intersect each other in nc2 ways

2. If there are m number of circles , They intersect each other in 2*(mc2) ways = m (m-1)= 2p2 ways

3. When n straight lines and m circles intersect each other , they intersect in at most 2 * m * n = 2* ( no. of circles ) * ( no.of straight lines)

4. When n parallel lines intersect m straight lines , Then no. of parallelograms possible = nc2 * mc2= mn (m-1) (n-1)/4

5. There is one case when collinear and non- collinear points are given , and asked how many triangles it can formed=>

The funda for this - ( Triangles that can be formed with all points ) - ( Triangles formed with collinear points )
