Probability is a key topic in Class 10 Maths and also appears in competitive exams because it builds the foundation for reasoning with uncertainty, conditional situations, and counting-based decision making. Mastery of probability helps you solve problems faster using clear counting strategies (like sample space and favorable outcomes), and it strengthens logical thinking needed for higher-level questions in later grades as well.
