Let $A$ and $B$ be independent events such that $P(A)=p$ and $P(B)=2p$. The largest value of $p$, for which $P(\text{exactly one of } A, B \text{ occurs}) = \frac{5}{9}$, is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{9}$
  • C
    $\frac{4}{9}$
  • D
    $\frac{5}{12}$

Let $A, B$ and $C$ be three events such that the probability that exactly one of $A$ and $B$ occurs is $(1-k)$,the probability that exactly one of $B$ and $C$ occurs is $(1-2k)$,the probability that exactly one of $C$ and $A$ occurs is $(1-k)$ and the probability that all $A, B$ and $C$ occur simultaneously is $k^2$,where $0 < k < 1$. Then the probability that at least one of $A, B$ and $C$ occurs is:

$A$ player $X$ has a biased coin whose probability of showing heads is $p$ and a player $Y$ has a fair coin. They start playing a game with their own coins and play alternately. The player who throws a head first is a winner. If $X$ starts the game,and the probability of winning the game by both the players is equal,then the value of $p$ is

Ravi and Rashmi each hold $2$ red cards and $2$ black cards (all four red and all four black cards are identical). Ravi picks a card at random from Rashmi and then Rashmi picks a card at random from Ravi. This process is repeated a second time. Let $p$ be the probability that both have all $4$ cards of the same colour. Then,$p$ satisfies

Let $\alpha$ be a root of $x^2+x+1=0$ and suppose that a fair die is thrown $3$ times. If $a, b,$ and $c$ are the numbers shown on the die,then the probability that $\alpha^a+\alpha^b+\alpha^c=0$ is
