Two persons $A$ and $B$ throw a fair die (six-faced cube with faces numbered from $1$ to $6$) alternately,starting with $A$. The first person to get an outcome different from the previous one thrown by the opponent wins. The probability that $B$ wins is:

  • A
    $\frac{5}{6}$
  • B
    $\frac{6}{7}$
  • C
    $\frac{7}{8}$
  • D
    $\frac{8}{9}$

Let there be three independent events $E_{1}, E_{2}$ and $E_{3}$. The probability that only $E_{1}$ occurs is $\alpha$,only $E_{2}$ occurs is $\beta$ and only $E_{3}$ occurs is $\gamma$. Let $p$ denote the probability that none of the events occur,which satisfies the equations $(\alpha - 2\beta)p = \alpha\beta$ and $(\beta - 3\gamma)p = 2\beta\gamma$. All the given probabilities are assumed to lie in the interval $(0, 1)$. Then,$\frac{\text{Probability of occurrence of } E_{1}}{\text{Probability of occurrence of } E_{3}}$ is equal to ..........

Two numbers are selected randomly from the set $S = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10\}$ without replacement one by one. The probability that the minimum of the two numbers is divisible by $3$ or the maximum of the two numbers is divisible by $4$ is:

An urn contains marbles of four colours: red,white,blue,and green. When four marbles are drawn without replacement,the following events are equally likely:
$1.$ The selection of four red marbles.
$2.$ The selection of one white and three red marbles.
$3.$ The selection of one white,one blue,and two red marbles.
$4.$ The selection of one marble of each colour.
The smallest total number of marbles satisfying the given condition is:
