A biased die is marked with numbers 2,4,8,16,32,322, 4, 8, 16, 32, 32 on its faces and the probability of getting a face with mark nn is 1n\dfrac{1}{n}. If the die is thrown thrice, then the probability, that the sum of the numbers obtained is 4848, is

Options

  1. A7211\dfrac{7}{{2}^{11}}
  2. B7212\dfrac{7}{{2}^{12}}
  3. C3210\dfrac{3}{{2}^{10}}
  4. D13212\dfrac{13}{{2}^{12}}

Correct answer

D. 13212\dfrac{13}{{2}^{12}}

Step-by-step solution

P(2)=12,P(4)=14,P(8)=18,P(16)=116,P(32)=132P\left(2\right) = \dfrac{1}{2}, P\left(4\right) = \dfrac{1}{4}, P\left(8\right) = \dfrac{1}{8}, P\left(16\right) = \dfrac{1}{16}, P\left(32\right) = \dfrac{1}{32}

When we get the faces as 8,8,328, 8, 32 then the probability will be 3(18×18×232)=310243\left(\dfrac{1}{8} \times \dfrac{1}{8} \times \dfrac{2}{32}\right) = \dfrac{3}{1024}

When we get the faces as 16,16,1616, 16, 16 then the probability will be 116×116×116=14096\dfrac{1}{16} \times \dfrac{1}{16} \times \dfrac{1}{16} = \dfrac{1}{4096}

Hence, the required probability will be31024+14096=134096\dfrac{3}{1024} + \dfrac{1}{4096} = \dfrac{13}{4096}
