JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2020 - 3rd September Morning Slot - No. 18)

A dice is thrown two times and the sum of the scores appearing on the die is observed to be a multiple of 4. Then the conditional probability that the score 4 has appeared atleast once is :
$${1 \over 8}$$
$${1 \over 9}$$
$${1 \over 4}$$
$${1 \over 3}$$

Explanation

Let A is the event for getting score a multiple of 4.

So, A = { (1, 3), (3, 1), (2, 2), (2, 6), (6, 2), (3, 5), (5, 3), (4, 4), (6, 6) } = 09

n(A) = 9

B : Score of 4 has appeared at least once.

B = {(4, 4)}

So, Required probability = $${1 \over 9}$$
