Correct Option - 4
Detailed Solution:

P (H) = x . P (T) = 1 – x

P (4H. 1T) = P (5H)

               

6x = 5 = 0     x = 5 6        

P (atmost 2H)

P ( O H , 5 T ) + P ( 1 H , 4 T ) + P ( 2 H , 3 T )

= 1 6 5 ( 1 + 2 5 + 2 5 0 ) = 2 7 6 6 5 = 4 6 6 4

Given f (k) = { k + 1 , k i s o d d k , k i s e v e n

  ? g : A A           such that g (f (x) = f (x)

Case I : If x is even then g (x) = x . (i)

Case II : If x is odd then g (x + 1) = x + 1 . (ii)

From (i) & (ii), g (x) = x, when x is even

So total no. of functions = 105 × 1 = 105
