2 Questions

  • Q1. What is the probability that you can cut a rope into exactly two halves?
  • Ans. 

    The probability of cutting a rope into exactly two halves is zero.

    • Cutting a rope into exactly two halves is impossible due to the thickness of the blade or scissors used.

    • Even if the rope is thin enough to be cut into two halves, the cut will never be perfectly straight.
