@jnirmal07 said:@soumitrabengeri15 kg of chikori powder should be added@soumitrabengeri
Answer cannot exceed 1/2 since 2 out of 4 coins are rs5
since question has no info on the other 2 coins, probability cant be calculated.
there can be 2 coins of each
or
there can be 3 coins of rs5 and 1 coin of rs1
or
there can be 4 coins of rs5

@2ndApr2011 said:Number of 1 rupee coin can be (2 out of 4) OR (1 out of 4) or (0 out of 4)...nahi kya ???
probabily can be 2/4=1/2
or
1/4
or
0/4 (all are rs5 coins)

What is the length of AC?
A detective plays Russian roulette with a criminal. He has a revolver with a cylinder which can hold 6 bullets, but only one of the chambers is loaded. The detective starts the game and spins the chamber, then points the muzzle at himself and pulls the trigger, then the criminal does the same. However once the particular chamber has been accessed, it cannot be accessed again. So if detective pulls trigger on chamber 1, when it comes to the criminal, the criminal can randomly select only one of the 5 remaining chambers. The game ends when one of them dies. Who has a higher probability of winning, and by what percentage is the winner's probability of winning, greater than the loser's probability of winning?
Post approach please!

P(EA1)=1, P(EA2)=3C2/4C2=1/2, P(EA3)=2C2/4C2=1/6
P(A1)=1/(1+1/2+1/6)
P(A2)=1/2/(1+1/2+1/6)
P(A3)=1/6/(1+1/2+1/6)
P(THAT A COIN DRAWN IS OS 1rs)=P(A1)*P(M/A1)+P(A2)*P(M/A2)+P(A3)*P(M/A3)
=3/5*0+(3/10)*1/4+(1/10)*1/2=1/8

Let the probablilty of detective dying be D and for criminal dying be C
hence D= 1/6 (when he s shot in the 1st chance)
+ 5/6(when he s not shot in the 1st chance) * 4/5(criminal is not shot in the 1st chance) * 1/4(when he s shot in his 2nd chance)
+ 5/6 * 4/5 * 3/4 * 2/3 * 1/2 = 1/2
Similarly calculate C and it comes to be 1/2
Hope i'm correct

p(criminal winning)=1/6+5/6*4/5*1/4+5/6*4/5*3/4*2/3*1/2=1/6+1/6+1/6=1/2
same for both
