JEE Advance - Mathematics (2016 - Paper 2 Offline - No. 10)
$$P\,\left( {X = Y} \right)$$ is
$${{11} \over {36}}$$
$${{1} \over {3}}$$
$${{13} \over {36}}$$
$${{1} \over {2}}$$
Explanation
$$\bullet$$ Probability of wining of T1 against T2 = 1/2.
$$\bullet$$ Probability of drawing of T1 against T2 is = 1/6.
$$\bullet$$ Probability of losing of T1 against T2 is = 1/3.
$$\bullet$$ 3 points for win.
$$\bullet$$ 1 point for draw.
$$\bullet$$ 0 point for loss.
P[X = Y] = P(draw) . P(draw) + P(T1 win) P(T2 win) + P(T2 win) . P(T1 win)
= (1/6 $$\times$$ 1/6) + (1/2 $$\times$$ 1/3) + (1/3 $$\times$$ 1/2) = 13/36
