    The probability that the ball dropped will not fall in pond, is:

    A) \[\frac{229}{240}\]

    B) 0

    C) \[\frac{11}{240}\]

    D) \[\frac{11}{120}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Probability that the ball dropped will fall in the pond.
    \[=\frac{\text{Area of patio}}{\text{Total area of garden}}\]
    Since, area of the pond \[=\pi {{r}^{2}}=\frac{22}{7}\times 1\times 1=\frac{22}{7}{{m}^{2}},\]as radius of the pond is 1 m,
    \[\therefore \] Probability that the ball dropped will fall in the pond
                \[=1-\frac{11}{240}=\frac{240-11}{240}=\frac{229}{240},\]
    as         \[P(E)+P(E0=1\]
    So, option [a] is correct
