JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 13. probability
When a certain biased die is rolled, a particular face occurs with probability \(\frac{1}{6}-\mathrm{x}\) and its opposite face occurs with probability \(\frac{1}{6}+\mathrm{x}\). All other faces occur with probability \(\frac{1}{6}\). Note that opposite faces sum to \(7\) in any die. If \(0\,<\,x\,<\,\frac{1}{6}\), and the probability of obtaining total \(\mathrm{sum}=7\), when such a die is rolled twice, is \(\frac{13}{96}\), then the value of \(x\) is:
- A \(\frac{1}{16}\)
- B \(\frac{1}{8}\)
- C \(\frac{1}{9}\)
- D \(\frac{1}{12}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\frac{1}{8}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Probability of obtaining total sum \(7=\) probability of getting opposite faces. Probability of getting opposite faces \(=2\left[\left(\frac{1}{6}-x\right)\left(\frac{1}{6}+x\right)+\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{6}\right]\)…
