Ques. 1JEE Main 2026, 4 April (Morning Shift)

A coin is tossed 8 times. If the probability that exactly 4 heads appear in the first six tosses and exactly 3 heads appear in the last five tosses is p, then 96p is equal to .

Answer

9

Solution

Tosses 1–6 must have 4 heads and tosses 4–8 must have 3 heads; tosses 4, 5, 6 are common.

Let the numbers of heads be a in tosses 1–3, b in tosses 4–6, c in tosses 7–8.

a+b=4, b+c=3, with a, b 3, c 2 b=1, 2, 3

b=1: a=3, c=2: 3C3 3C1 2C2=3

b=2: a=2, c=1: 3C2 3C2 2C1=18

b=3: a=1, c=0: 3C1 3C3 2C0=3

Favourable outcomes =24, total outcomes =28=256

p= 24256= 332

96p=9
