In an examination, there are 1010 true-false type questions. Out of 1010, a student can guess the answer of 44 questions correctly with probability 34\dfrac{3}{4} and the remaining 66 questions correctly with probability 14\dfrac{1}{4}. If the probability that the student guesses the answers of exactly 88 questions correctly out of 1010 is 27k410\dfrac{27k}{{4}^{10}}, then kk is equal to

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Given,

A={1,2,3,4}:P(A)=34→A = \left\{1, 2, 3, 4\right\}: P\left(A\right) = \dfrac{3}{4} \toCorrect answer

B={5,6,7,8,9,10};P(B)=14B = \left\{5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10\right\}; P\left(B\right) = \dfrac{1}{4} Correct answer

Now total ways in which 88 Correct answer is given will be,

⇒Case (i)(4,4):C44(34)4⋅C46⋅(14)4⋅(34)2⇒ \text{Case (i)}\left(4, 4\right): C4 4 {\left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)}^{4} \cdot C4 6 \cdot {\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)}^{4} \cdot {\left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)}^{2}

⇒Case(ii)(3,5):C34(34)3⋅(14)1⋅C56(14)5⋅(34)⇒ Case\text{(ii)}\left(3, 5\right): C3 4 {\left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)}^{3} \cdot {\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)}^{1} \cdot C5 6 {\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)}^{5} \cdot \left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)

⇒Case (iii)(2,6):C24(34)2(14)2⋅C66(14)6⇒ \text{Case (iii)}\left(2, 6\right): C2 4 {\left(\dfrac{3}{4}\right)}^{2}{\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)}^{2} \cdot C6 6 {\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)}^{6}

Total probability =1410[34×15×32+4×33×6×3+6×32]= \dfrac{1}{{4}^{10}}\left[{3}^{4} \times 15 \times {3}^{2} + 4 \times {3}^{3} \times 6 \times 3 + 6 \times {3}^{2}\right]

=27410[2.7×15+72+2]= \dfrac{27}{{4}^{10}}\left[2 . 7 \times 15 + 72 + 2\right]

Now comparing with 27k410\dfrac{27k}{{4}^{10}}

We get,K=479K = 479
