  1. A \(\frac{600}{729}\)
  2. B \(\frac{500}{729}\)
  3. C \(\frac{400}{729}\)
  4. D \(\frac{496}{729}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{496}{729}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the probability of failure and success be \(p\) and \(q\), respectively. Let \(X\) represents the number of failure According to the question, \(q=2 p\) \(\because \quad p+q=1 \text { and } q=2 p\) \(\therefore \quad p=\frac{1}{3} \text { and } q=\frac{2}{3}\) Now, required…
