Practicing Success
Three friends A, B and C are playing with a pair of dice. They throw two dice alternately. Coming of a doublet on two dice leads to a success and the game stops. If A starts the game, then the probability of his winning, is : |
$\frac{1}{216}$ $\frac{36}{91}$ $\frac{7}{216}$ $\frac{125}{216}$ |
$\frac{125}{216}$ |
According to problem three friends A, B and C are playing with a pair of dice. They throw two dice alternately. Coming of a doublet on two dice leads to a success and the game stops. The probability of getting a doublet is a success Possible Case= (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6) = 6 Total no. of cases in throwing two dice = (6)2 = 36 So, the probability of getting a doublet in tossing two dice = 6/36 = 1/6 If A start the game then he will win if he gets a doublet so the possible case for this = A gets a doublet and B & C will not get a doublet = (1/6)(5/6)(5/6) = 25/216 But there are total three players So, the required probability = 3*(25/216) = 125/216
