Ques. 1JEE Main 2025, 24 January (Morning Shift)

A and B alternately throw a pair of dice. A wins if he throws a sum of 5 before B throws a sum of 8, and B wins if he throws a sum of 8 before A throws a sum of 5. The probability, that A wins if A makes the first throw, is

  1. 819
  2. 919
  3. 817
  4. 917

Answer

(2) 919

Solution

p= 436= 19 (sum 5), q= 536 (sum 8); A wins on throw 1, 3, 5, … if both fail before:

P(A)=p+(1-p)(1-q) p+ [(1-p)(1-q) ]2p+

Common ratio r= 89 3136= 6281

P(A)= 1/91-62/81= 19 8119= 919

Answer: (2)

Ques. 5JEE Main 2024, 8 April (Morning Shift)

Three balls are drawn at random from a bag containing 5 blue and 4 yellow balls. Let the random variables X and Y respectively denote the number of blue and yellow balls. If X and Y are the means of X and Y respectively, then 7 X + 4 Y is equal to .

Ques. 6JEE Main 2024, 8 April (Evening Shift)

There are three bags X, Y and Z. Bag X contains 5 one-rupee coins and 4 five-rupee coins; Bag Y contains 4 one-rupee coins and 5 five-rupee coins and Bag Z contains 3 one-rupee coins and 6 five-rupee coins. A bag is selected at random and a coin drawn from it at random is found to be a one-rupee coin. Then the probability, that it came from bag Y, is :
