There are 10 coins in a box out of which 8 are normal and the remaining are with heads on both sides. A coin is chosen at random from the box and tossed 6 times. If it shows heads each time, then the probability that the selected coin has head on both sides is

  1. A \(\frac{16}{17}\)
  2. B \(\frac{32}{41}\)
  3. C \(\frac{8}{9}\)
  4. D \(\frac{12}{13}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{16}{17}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P(\) both side head \()=\frac{2}{10}\) \(P(\) Fair coin \()=\frac{8}{10}\) \(\begin{aligned} & P\left(\frac{\text { Head }}{\text { Fair }}\right)=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^6 \\ & P\left(\frac{\text { Head }}{\text { Unfair }}\right)=1\end{aligned}\) Probability…
