1st ka 3/4... second ka 1/7.. working on third and fourth..
For first, consider both girls as a single unit and subtract from total possibilities..
For second, 366 days.. So two days will occur 53 times, rest 52 times. Probability for each day is equal... So 1/7

3rd ka 75.. For three children families, each child can be either a boy or a girl, so number of combinations = 2x2x2=8. Out of that only 1 is GGG. So Out of 600 families, 600/8 have all girls..

@sandeep ramesh.. it can't be 2/7 because probability for all of the days has to be the same.. And if it's 2/7 then total will become 2, not 1.. So 1/7..

arrey yaar 2/7 is perfectly correct.
out of 366 days 364 would have 52 sundays , now the 365th and the 366th day can be either of
sm,mt,tw,wt,tf,fs,ss
fav outcomes are 2 and sample space is 7 so prob = 2/7

q1) is fairly simple too..
first place all the 6 boys, now there are 7 gaps b/w the boys the 2 girls are to be placed in these 7 gaps, but the girls can also arrange themselves in 2! ways and the boys in 6! ways so the fav no. of cases are
7C2*2!*6!
prob =
7C2*2!*6! / 8! = 3/4
