There are four machines and it is known that exactly two of them are faulty. They are tested one by one, in a random order till both the faulty machines are identified. Then, the probability that only two tests are need is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\therefore\) Required probability \(=P(\ln\) first two test either both are faulty or both are not faulty) \(=P\) (First two are faulty) \(+P\) (First two are not faulty)…
