  1. A complete cycle of a traffic light takes 60 s. During each cycle the light is green for 25 s, yellow for 5 s and red for 30 s. At a randomly chosen time, the probability that the light will not be green is ?
    1. 1/3
    2. 1/4
    3. 5/12
    4. 7/12
Correct Option: D

Time taken for complete cycle = 60 s
Probability that light will be green = (Time for which light is green)/(time taken for complete cycle)
= 25/60 = 5/12
∴ Probability that light will not be green = 1- 5/12 = 7/12
