An objective type test paper has 5 questions. Out of these 5 questions, 3 questions have four options each \((a, b, c, d)\) with one option being the correct answer. The other 2 questions have two options each, namely true and false. A candidate randomly ticks the options. Then, the probability that he/she will tick the correct option in atleast four questions, is

  1. A \(\frac{5}{32}\)
  2. B \(\frac{3}{128}\)
  3. C \(\frac{3}{256}\)
  4. D \(\frac{3}{64}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{3}{64}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total sample space, \(n(S)=4^{3} \cdot 2^{2}\) and total number of favourable cases \[ n(E)=\left({ }^{3} C_{1} \cdot 3+{ }^{2} C_{1} \cdot 1\right)+1 \] \(\therefore\) Required probability \(=\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}\)…
