Let $X_n = \{1, 2, 3, \ldots, n\}$ and let a subset $A$ of $X_n$ be chosen such that every pair of elements of $A$ differ by at least $3$. (For example,if $n = 5$,$A$ can be $\phi, \{2\}$ or $\{1, 5\}$ among others). When $n = 10$,let the probability that $1 \in A$ be $p$ and let the probability that $2 \in A$ be $q$. Then,

  • A
    $p > q$ and $p - q = \frac{1}{6}$
  • B
    $p < q$ and $q - p = \frac{1}{6}$
  • C
    $p > q$ and $p - q = \frac{1}{10}$
  • D
    $p < q$ and $q - p = \frac{1}{10}$

Let $A, B$ and $C$ be three events such that the probability that exactly one of $A$ and $B$ occurs is $(1-k)$,the probability that exactly one of $B$ and $C$ occurs is $(1-2k)$,the probability that exactly one of $C$ and $A$ occurs is $(1-k)$ and the probability that all $A, B$ and $C$ occur simultaneously is $k^2$,where $0 < k < 1$. Then the probability that at least one of $A, B$ and $C$ occurs is:
