An electric instrument consists of two units. Each unit must function independently for the instrument to operate. The probability that the first unit functions is 0.9 and that of the second unit is 0.8. The instrument is switched on and it fails to operate. If the probability that only the first unit failed and second unit is functioning is p, then 98 p is equal to________.

P (2 obtained on even numbered toss) = k (let)

P (2) = $\frac{1}{6}$  

P (  $\overline{2}$ )= $\frac{5}{6}$  

$k=\frac{5}{6}\times \frac{1}{6}+{\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)}^3\times \frac{1}{6}+{\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)}^5\times \frac{1}{6}+...$

$=\frac{\frac{5}{6}\times \frac{1}{6}}{1-{\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)}^2}$

$=\frac{5}{11}$

If x = 0, y = 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

If x = 1, y = 7, 8, 9, 10

If x = 2, y = 8, 9, 10

If x = 3, y = 9, 10

If x = 4, y = 10

If x = 5, y = no possible value

Total possible ways = (5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1) * 2

= 30

Required probability  $=\frac{30}{11*11}=\frac{30}{121}$

P (2W and 2B) = P (2B, 6W) × P (2W and 2B)

+ P (3B, 5W) × P (2W and 2B)

+ P (4B, 4W) × P (2W and 2B)

+ P (5B, 3W) × P (2W and 2B)

+ P (6B, 2W) × P (2W and 2B)

(15 + 30 + 36 + 30 + 15)

$=\frac{36}{126}$

$=\frac{18}{63}$

$=\frac{6}{21}$

$=\frac{2}{7}$

Let probability of tail is   $\frac{1}{3}$

⇒ Probability of getting head = $\frac{2}{3}$  

∴ Probability of getting 2 heads and 1 tail

$=\left(\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{2}{3}\times \frac{1}{3}\right)\times 3$

$=\frac{4}{27}\times 3$

$=\frac{4}{9}$

ax² + bx + c = 0

D = b² – 4ac

D = 0

b² – 4ac = 0

b² = 4ac

(i) AC = 1, b = 2 (1, 2, 1) is one way

(ii) AC = 4, b = 4

$\begin{array}{l}a=4c=1\\ a=2c=2\\ a=1c=4\end{array}\}3ways$

(iii) AC = 9, b = 6, a = 3, c = 3 is one way

1 + 3 + 1 = 5 way

Required probability = $\frac{5}{216}$
