(B) Let the four machines be $M_1, M_2, F_1, F_2$,where $F_1$ and $F_2$ are faulty and $M_1, M_2$ are non-faulty.We need to identify both faulty machines in exactly two tests.This means the first test must result in a faulty machine,and the second test must also result in a faulty machine.The total number of ways to pick $2$ machines out of $4$ in a specific order is $4 	imes 3 = 12$.The number of ways to pick the two faulty machines in the first two tests is $2 	imes 1 = 2$ (i.e.,$(F_1, F_2)$ or $(F_2, F_1)$).Therefore,the required probability is $\frac{2}{12} = \frac{1}{6}$.Alternatively,using combinations: The total number of ways to choose $2$ machines out of $4$ is $^4C_2 = 6$. Only one of these pairs consists of both faulty machines. Thus,the probability is $\frac{1}{6}$.

$Face$	$1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6$
$Probability$	$0.1, 0.24, 0.19, 0.18, 0.15, 0.14$

There are four machines,and it is known that exactly two of them are faulty. They are tested one by one in a random order until both faulty machines are identified. The probability that only two tests are needed is
