A Problem in Mathematics is given to the three students A, B and C. Their chances of solving the problem are `1/2, 1/3` and `1/4` respectively. Find the probability that exactly two students will solve the problem.
उत्तर
Given probabilities of solving a problem by A, B and C are
P(A) = `1/2`,
P(B) = `1/3`
and P(C) = `1/4`
`\implies "P"(bar"A") = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2`,
`"P"(bar"B") = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3`
and `"P"(bar"C") = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4`
Probability of solving the problem by exactly two students
= `"P"("A")"P"("B")"P"(bar"C") + "P"("A")"P"(bar"B")"P"("C") + "P"(bar"A")"P"("B")"P"("C")`
= `1/2 xx 1/3 xx 3/4 + 1/2 xx 2/3 xx 1/4 + 1/2 xx 1/3 xx 1/4`
= `(3 + 2 + 1)/24`
= `6/24`
= `1/4`

Box I contains two white and three black balls. Box II contains four white and one black balls and box III contains three white ·and four black balls. A dice having three red, two yellow and one green face, is thrown to select the box. If red face turns up, we pick up the box I, if a yellow face turns up we pick up box II, otherwise, we pick up box III. Then, we draw a ball from the selected box. If the ball is drawn is white, what is the probability that the dice had turned up with a red face?

Three friends go to a restaurant to have pizza. They decide who will pay for the pizza by tossing a coin. It is decided that each one of them will toss a coin and if one person gets a different result (heads or tails) than the other two, that person would pay. If all three get the same result (all heads or all tails), they will toss again until they get a different result.
- What is the probability that all three friends will get the same result (all heads or all tails) in one round of tossing?
- What is the probability that they will get a different result in one round of tossing?
- What is the probability that they will need exactly four rounds of tossing to determine who would pay?
