$A$ and $B$ throw a die alternatively till one of them gets a '$6$' and wins the game. Find their respective probabilities of winning,if $A$ starts first.

  • A
    $P(A) = \frac{6}{11}, P(B) = \frac{5}{11}$
  • B
    $P(A) = \frac{5}{11}, P(B) = \frac{6}{11}$
  • C
    $P(A) = \frac{1}{2}, P(B) = \frac{1}{2}$
  • D
    $P(A) = \frac{36}{91}, P(B) = \frac{25}{91}$

$A$ computer program has two modules $X$ and $Y$ and errors in them occur independently. $X$ has an error with probability $0.1$ and $Y$ has an error with probability $0.3$. If an error in $X$ alone causes the program to crash with probability $0.5$, an error in $Y$ alone causes the program to crash with probability $0.7$, and an error in both $X$ and $Y$ causes the program to crash with probability $0.8$, then the probability that the program crashes is
