Q47 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (27 Jul Shift 2) · Mathematics

A six faced die is biased such that 3×P(a prime number)=6×P(a composite number)=2×P1. Let X be a random variable that counts the number of times one gets a perfect square on some throws of this die. If the die is thrown twice, then the mean of X is

  • A
    311
  • B
    511
  • C
    711
  • Correct answer
    D
    811

Solution

Let Pa prime number2=Pa composite number1=P13=k

So, P(a prime number)=2k,

P (a composite number)=k,

and P1=3k

i.e. 6k+2k+3k=1

⇒k=111

P(success)=P1 or 4=3k+k=411

Number of trials, n=2

∴ required mean=np=2×411=811

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