If (P ) and (Q ) each toss three coins. The probability that both gets same number of heads, is
Options
- A( 3 8 )
- B( 1 9 )
- C( 3 16 )
- D( 5 16 )
Correct answer
D. ( 5 16 )
Step-by-step solution
Let (p ) and (q ) represents the probability of getting head and tail respectively on tossing a coin. So, (p=q= 1 2 ) ( aligned So, required probability & = _ r=0 ^3 [3_ C _r ( 1 2 )^3 ]^2 & = ( 1 2 )^6 [1^2+3^2+3^2+1^2 ] & = 20 64 = 5 16 aligned ) Hence, option (d) is correct.
