Total Number of people = 6 Men + 4 Women. Now 1 women can be selected out of 4 Women in 4C1 ways= 4 ways. Total number of ways in which a member is selected is 10C1 ways = 10 ways. Probability for a women to get selected is 4/10 = 0.4.

There are 10 members of the council. Any one may be selected for a committee. No. of possible cases = 10 . One woman out of 4 may be selected in 4 ways. No. of favourable cases = 4 Probability of selection of a woman = 4/10 = 0.4

The council number is selected for a committee at random from 10members (6 men + 4 women) is n (S) = 10c1 = 10 since the council number is a women then the required event n(E) = 4c1 = 4 the required probability is p(E) = n(E) / n(S) = 4/10 = 2/5

Given data: Current I1 and I2 = 100 Amps; Distance = 20 mm = 20 × 10-3 m; Force = ? We know that the force is found by the following expression. Torque developed force fT=M0 *I1 *I2/(2*(Pi)*d)=4*(Pi)*(10)^-7 *(100)^2/2*(pi)*20*(10)^-3=0.1 N
