    Question

    Die A has four red and two white faces whereas die B has two red and four white faces. A single coin is flipped once. If it falls head the game starts with the throwing of die A and if it falls tail die B is to be used first. The probability of getting a red face at any throw of any die is

    A.

    12 \frac{1}{2}​​

    B.

    13 \frac{1}{3}​​

    C.

    14 \frac{1}{4}​​

    D.

    None of these

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    P(H)=P(T)=12P(RedA)=46=23P(RedB)=26=13P(H)=P(T)=\frac{1}{2}\\P(\text{Red}|A)=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}\\P(\text{Red}|B)=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}​​
    Formula Used:
    P(Red)=P(H)P(RedA)+P(T)P(RedB)P(\text{Red})=P(H)P(\text{Red}|A)+P(T)P(\text{Red}|B)​​
    Solution:
    P(Red)=12×23+12×13=13+16=12P(\text{Red})=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{2}​​
    Therefore, the probability of getting a red face is 12.\frac{1}{2}.​​
    The correct answer is (a) 12. \frac{1}{2}.​​
