  1. A \(\frac{1}{5}\)
  2. B \(\frac{5}{6}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{6}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{1}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(4 \cdot P(x=4)=P(x=2) \)
\( \Rightarrow 4 \cdot{ }^6 C_4 P^4 \cdot q^2={ }^6 C_2 p^2 q^4 \)
\( \Rightarrow \frac{p^2}{q^2}=\frac{1}{4}\)

\(\Rightarrow 3 p=1 \)
\( \Rightarrow p=\frac{1}{3}\)
