The probability of solving a problem by three persons $A, B$ and $C$ independently is $\frac{1}{2}$, $\frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$ respectively. Then the probability
of the problem is solved by any two of them is
- $\frac{1}{12}$
- $\frac{1}{4}$
- $\frac{1}{24}$
- $\frac{1}{8}$
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
$=1 / 2 \times 1 / 4 \times 1 / 3+1 / 2 \times 3 / 4 \times 1 / 3+1 / 2 \times 1 / 4 \times 2 / 3$
$=1 / 24+1 / 8+1 / 12$
$=(1+3+2) / 24$
$=1 / 4$

In an experiment to determine the figure of merit of a galvanometer by half deflection method, a student constructed the following circuit. He applied a resistance of \( 520 \, \Omega \) in \( R \). When \( K_1 \) is closed and \( K_2 \) is open, the deflection observed in the galvanometer is 20 div. When \( K_1 \) is also closed and a resistance of \( 90 \, \Omega \) is removed in \( S \), the deflection becomes 13 div. The resistance of galvanometer is nearly:

Binomial Distribution
A common probability distribution that models the probability of obtaining one of two outcomes under a given number of parameters is called the binomial distribution. It summarizes the number of trials when each trial has the same probability of attaining one specific outcome. The value of a binomial is acquired by multiplying the number of independent trials by the successes.
Criteria of Binomial Distribution:
Binomial distribution models the probability of happening an event when specific criteria are met. In order to use the binomial probability formula, the binomial distribution involves the following rules that must be present in the process:
- Fixed trials
- Independent trials
- Fixed probability of success
- Two mutually exclusive outcomes
