A die is thrown four times. The probability of getting perfect square in at least one throw is

  1. A \(\frac{58}{61}\)
  2. B \(\frac{16}{81}\)
  3. C \(\frac{65}{81}\)
  4. D \(\frac{23}{81}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{65}{81}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From 1 to 6 , we have 1 and 4 as perfect squares.
Probability of getting perfect square is one throw of a die
\(=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\therefore\) Probability of not getting perfect square in 4 throws of a die
\(=\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{2}{3}=\frac{16}{81}\)
\(\therefore\) Required probability \(=1-\frac{16}{81}=\frac{65}{81}\)
