Let be a complex cube root of unity with 1 . A fair die is thrown three times. If r₁, r₂ and r₃ are the numbers obtained on the die, then the probability that ^ r₁ + ^ r₂ + ^ r₃ =0 , is
Options
- A1 36
- B1 8
- C1 9
- D2 9
Correct answer
D. 2 9
Step-by-step solution
Solution: aligned & ^ r₁ + ^ r₂ + ^ r₃ =0 & each of r₁, r₂, r₃ belongs to each of the categories 3 k, 3 k+1, & 3 k+2 aligned So the required probability 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 = 2 9
