$A$ player $X$ has a biased coin whose probability of showing heads is $p$ and a player $Y$ has a fair coin. They start playing a game with their own coins and play alternately. The player who throws a head first is a winner. If $X$ starts the game,and the probability of winning the game by both the players is equal,then the value of $p$ is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{5}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{4}$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{5}$

Consider the set $A_n$ of points $(x, y)$ such that $0 \leq x \leq n, 0 \leq y \leq n$,where $n, x, y$ are integers. Let $S_n$ be the set of all lines passing through at least two distinct points from $A_n$. Suppose we choose a line $l$ at random from $S_n$. Let $P_n$ be the probability that $l$ is tangent to the circle $x^2+y^2=n^2\left(1+\left(1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\right)^2\right)$. Then,the limit $\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} P_n$ is
