Let a computer program generate only the digits $0$ and $1$ to form a string of binary numbers. The probability of occurrence of $0$ at even places is $\frac{1}{2}$ and the probability of occurrence of $0$ at odd places is $\frac{1}{3}$. Then the probability that $'10'$ is followed by $'01'$ is equal to:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{18}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{6}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{9}$

Consider the following statements:
Assertion $(A)$: If $P_1, P_2, P_3$ are probabilities of occurrence of three independent events, then the probability of occurrence of at least one of them is $1 - [(1 - P_1)(1 - P_2)(1 - P_3)]$.
Reason $(R)$: For any three independent events $A, B$, and $C$, $P(A \cup B \cup C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) - P(A)P(B) - P(A)P(C) - P(B)P(C) + P(A)P(B)P(C)$.
The correct option among the following is:

$(A)$ $P(X \cup Y)=\frac{2}{3}$
$(B)$ $X$ and $Y$ are independent
$(C)$ $X$ and $Y$ are not independent
$(D)$ $P(X^C \cap Y)=\frac{1}{3}$

You are given a box containing $20$ cards. Out of these,$10$ cards have the letter $I$ printed on them,and the other $10$ cards have the letter $T$ printed on them. If you draw three cards one after another with replacement,what is the probability of forming the word $IIT$?
