Q39 / 75 · JEE Main 2020 (09 Jan Shift 2) · Mathematics

A random variable X has the following probability distribution:
X:12345PX: k22kk2k5k2
Then, PX>2 is equal to:

  • A
    712
  • B
    136
  • C
    16
  • Correct answer
    D
    2336

Solution

W e know ∑Pi=1⇒6k2+5k=1

6k2+5k-1=0

6k2+6k-k-1=0

6k-1k+1=0⇒k=-1 (rejected) ; k=16

PX>2=k+2k+5k2

=16+26+536=6+12+536=2336

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
