Two players A and B play a game by alternately drawing a card from a well-shuffled pack of playing cards, replacing the card each time after draw. -Maths 9th

1 Answer

Answer :

(a) \(rac{13}{25}\)Let E : Event of drawing a queen in a single draw the pack of 52 cards. As there are 4 queens in a pack of 52 cards,P(E) = \(rac{4}{52}\) = \(rac{1}{13}\)P(\(\bar{E}\)) = P(not drawing a queen) = 1 - P(E) = 1 - \(rac{1}{13}\) = \(rac{12}{13}\)∴ P(A wins) = P(A draws a queen in the 1st or 3rd or 5th or ...draws with B not drawing the queen in the 2nd or 4th or 6th or ...draws)= P(E or \(\bar{E}\) \(\bar{E}\) E or \(\bar{E}\) \(\bar{E}\) \(\bar{E}\) \(\bar{E}\) E or ........) = P(E) + P(\(\bar{E}\)) . P(\(\bar{E}\)) . P(E) + P(\(\bar{E}\)) P(\(\bar{E}\)) P(\(\bar{E}\)) . P(\(\bar{E}\)) . P(E) + ... ∞= \(rac{1}{13}\) + \(\bigg(\)\(rac{12}{13}\) x \(rac{12}{13}\) x \(rac{1}{13}\)\(\bigg)\)+ \(\bigg(\)\(rac{12}{13}\) x \(rac{12}{13}\) x \(rac{12}{13}\) x \(rac{12}{13}\) x \(rac{1}{13}\)\(\bigg)\)+ ... ∞= \(rac{1}{13}\) \(\bigg[\)1 + \(\bigg(rac{12}{13}\bigg)^2\)+\(\bigg(rac{12}{13}\bigg)^4\)+ ... ∞\(\bigg]\)= \(rac{1}{13}\) \(\bigg[rac{1}{1-\big(rac{12}{13}\big)^2}\bigg]\) = \(rac{1}{13}\) \(\bigg[rac{1}{rac{(169-144)}{169}}\bigg]\)= \(rac{1}{13}\) x \(rac{169}{25}\) = \(rac{13}{25}\). [Sum of a G.P with infinite terms = \(rac{a}{1-r}\)  where a = 1st term, r = common ratio.]
