If we take \(8\) identical slips of paper and write the number \(0\) on one of them, the number \(1\) on three of the slips, the number \(2\) on three of the slips and the number \(3\) on one of the slips. These slips are folded, put in a box and roughly mixed. One slip is drawn at random from the box. If \(X\) is the random variable denoting the number written on the drawn slip, the variance of \(X\) is:
- A \(1/4\)
- B \(3/4\)
- C \(2\)
- D \(3/2\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(3/4\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(P(X=0)=\frac{1}{8}, P(X=1)=\frac{3}{8}, P(X=2)=\frac{3}{8}, P(X=3)=\frac{1}{8}\) \(E[X] = 0\left(\frac{1}{8}\right) + 1\left(\frac{3}{8}\right) + 2\left(\frac{3}{8}\right) + 3\left(\frac{1}{8}\right) = \frac{0+3+6+3}{8} = \frac{12}{8} = \frac{3}{2}\)…

- Answer the question on the basis of passage given below:
Second period elements of p-Block differs from the rest of their group members due to their small atomic size, high electronegativity, high ionization enthalpy and absence of d-orbitals. The elements from the second period like C, N, O have unique property of forming \(p \pi-p \pi\) multiple bonds whereas other heavier elements of p-block form \(d \pi-p \pi\) multiple bonds. This changes the properties of second period elements to great extent. Also the single bond strength of the p-block elements with their own atoms gets affected by their atomic size and presence of lone pairs.
Inert pair effect also affects the properties of the p-Block elements especially for those elements which are present from 4th period onward and this happens due to poor screening effect of inner (n-1)d subshell electrons.
