Tip: Next time, post your questions individually. People don't want to respond to so many questions in one go.

Q2aiv. I've explained this here: https://www.xtremepapers.com/commun...st-your-doubts-here.2565/page-148#post-508948.
Scroll down until you see the imges.

Q3c. Either card 1 is chosen on the 1st try or it is chosen on the 2nd try.

P(Card 1 chosen on 1st try) = 2/6

If it happens on the 2nd try, it can't have happened on the first try.

So P(Card 1 chosen not chosen on 1st try but chosen on 2nd try) = 4/6 * 2/5 = 8/30

Add the probabilities together: 2/6 + 8/30 = 18/30


I'll answer your other questions if I have time later.
