    Solution

    $\mathrm{S}=\{\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}, \mathrm{c}, \mathrm{d}, \mathrm{e}\}$
    Set form by all subset $\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{S})=\{\{ \},\{\mathrm{a}\}, \ldots,\{\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}\}, \ldots\{\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}, \mathrm{c}, \mathrm{d}, \mathrm{e}\}\}$

    A, $\mathrm{B} \in \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{S})$
    Every element has 4 choices
    Total ways $=4^{5}$
    $\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B}=\phi$
    favourable choices $=3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3=3^{5}$

    Solution

    \[ \begin{aligned} & \text { Mean }=\frac{\sum x_{i}}{8}=\frac{-10-7-1+x+y+9+2+16}{8}=\frac{7}{2} \\ & \Rightarrow x+y=19 \quad \ldots(1) \\ & \text { Variance }=\frac{1}{n} \sum x_{i}^{2}-\mu^{2}=\frac{293}{4} \\ & =\frac{1}{8}\left(100+49+1+x^{2}+y^{2}+81+4+256\right)-\left(\frac{7}{2}\right)^{2}=\frac{293}{4} \end{aligned} \]
    \[ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow x^{2}+y^{2}+406+85=8\left[\frac{49+293}{4}\right]=684 \\ & \Rightarrow x^{2}+y^{2}=684-491=193 \text { from }(1) \\ & \Rightarrow x^{2}+(19-x)^{2}=193 \\ & \Rightarrow(x-12)(x-7)=0 \\ & x=12 \mid x=7 \\ & y=7 \mid y=12 \end{aligned} \]

    required numbers $\mathrm{x}, \mathrm{y}, \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}+1,|\mathrm{x}-\mathrm{y}|$ are 12, 7, 20, 5

    12-16 14 4 56 14 ร— 56
    16-20 18 $\frac{7}{14+\lambda}$ 126 18 ร— 126
    \[ \begin{aligned} & \mu=\frac{\sum f_{i} x_{i}}{\sum f_{i}}=\frac{18+10 \lambda+56+126}{14+\lambda} \\ & \Rightarrow \mu=\frac{200+10 \lambda}{14+\lambda}=\frac{10(\lambda+14)+60}{14+\lambda} \\ & \Rightarrow \mu=10+\frac{60}{14+\lambda} ; \lambda \in \mathrm{N} \\ & \lambda=1, \mu=10+4=14 ; \end{aligned} \]
    \[ \begin{aligned} & \lambda=6, \mu=10+3=13 \\ & \lambda=16, \mu=10+2=12 \\ & \lambda=46, \mu=10+1=11 \end{aligned} \]
    \[ \begin{aligned} & \text { Variance }=\frac{\sum x_{i}^{2} f_{i}}{\sum f_{i}}(\text { Mean })^{2}=19 \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{108+100 \lambda+14 \times 56+18 \times 126}{14+\lambda}-\mu^{2}=19 \\ & \frac{108+100 \lambda+560+4 \times 56+1260+8 \times 126}{14+\lambda}-\left(10+\frac{60}{14+\lambda}\right)^{2}=19 \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{3160+100 \lambda}{14+\lambda}-\left(10+\frac{60}{14+\lambda}\right)^{2}=19 \end{aligned} \]

    we get $\lambda=6, \mu=10+3=13$

    \[ \therefore \lambda+\mu=19 \text { Answer (4) } \]

    First Method:
    P(ab is divisible by 3)
    $=\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{a} \& \mathrm{~b}$ both are multiple of 3$)+\mathrm{P}($ Exactly are of $\mathrm{a} \& \mathrm{~b}$ is multiple of 3$)$

    Second Method:
    Number which are not multiple of $3=50-16=34$
    $\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{ab}$ is divisible by 3$)=1-\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{ab}$ is not divisible by 3$)$
