JEE Advanced · Mathematics · 32. Probability
Consider the system of equations
where \(\quad a, b, c, d \in\{0,1\}\)
Statement 1 The probability that the system of equations has a unique solution, is \(3 / 8\).
Statement 2 The probability that the system of equations has a solution, is 1 .
- A
Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.
- B
Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.
- C
Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
- D
Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B)
Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The number of all possible deteminants of the form

Out of which only 10 determinants given by
vanish and remaining six determinants have non-zero values.
Hence, the required probability \(=\frac{6}{16}=\frac{3}{8}\)
\(\Rightarrow\) Statement 1 is correct.
Statement 2 is also correct as the homogeneous equations have always a solution and Statement 2 is not a correct explanation of Statement 1.

JEE Advanced 2021 Hard - Paragraph:
Carbon-14 is used to determine the age of organic material. The procedure is based on the formation of \({ }^{14} \mathrm{C}\) by neutron capture in the upper atmosphere.
\(
{ }_7^{14} \mathrm{~N}+{ }_0^1 n \longrightarrow{ }_6^{14} \mathrm{C}+{ }_1 n^1
\)
\({ }^{14} \mathrm{C}\) is absorbed by living organisms during photosynthesis. The \({ }^{14} \mathrm{C}\) content is constant in living organism once the plant or animal dies, the uptake of carbon dioxide by it ceases and the level of \({ }^{14} \mathrm{C}\) in the dead being, falls to the decay which \({ }^{14} \mathrm{C}\) undergoes.
\(
{ }_6^{14} \mathrm{C} \longrightarrow{ }_7^{14} \mathrm{~N}+\beta^{-}
\)
The half life period of \({ }^{14} \mathrm{C}\) is 5770 years. The decay constant \((\lambda)\) can be calculated by using the following formula \(\lambda=\frac{0.693}{t_{1 / 2}}\).
The comparison of the \(\beta^{-}\)activity of the dead matter with that of the carbon still in circulation enables measurement of the period of the isolation of the material from the living cycle. The method however, ceases to be accurate over periods longer than 30,000 years. The proportion of \({ }^{14} \mathrm{C}\) to \({ }^{12} \mathrm{C}\) in living matter is \(1: 10^{12}\).
