Two persons $A$ and $B$ throw a fair die (six-faced cube with faces numbered from $1$ to $6$) alternately,starting with $A$. The first person to get an outcome different from the previous one thrown by the opponent wins. The probability that $B$ wins is:

  • A
    $\frac{5}{6}$
  • B
    $\frac{6}{7}$
  • C
    $\frac{7}{8}$
  • D
    $\frac{8}{9}$

For three events $A$, $B$, and $C$ of a sample space, $P(\text{exactly one of } A \text{ or } B \text{ occurs}) = P(\text{exactly one of } B \text{ or } C \text{ occurs}) = P(\text{exactly one of } C \text{ or } A \text{ occurs}) = \frac{1}{4}$. If the probability of all the three events occurring simultaneously is $\frac{1}{16}$, then the probability that at least one of the events occurs is:

An unbiased coin is tossed. If the result is a head,a pair of unbiased dice is rolled and the sum of the numbers on the two faces is noted. If the result is a tail,a card from a well-shuffled pack of eleven cards numbered $2, 3, 4, \dots, 12$ is picked and the number on the card is noted. The probability that the noted number is either $7$ or $8$ is:
