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
    $\frac{8}{9}$

Functions are formed from the set $A = \{a_1, a_2, a_3\}$ to another set $B = \{b_1, b_2, b_3, b_4, b_5\}$. If a function is selected at random, the probability that it is a one-one function is

Two players $A$ and $B$ are alternately throwing a coin and a die together. $A$ player who first throws a head and a $6$ wins the game. If $A$ starts the game, then the probability that $B$ wins the game is:

Two friends $A$ and $B$ meet every weekend either at a party or at a Sports Club. The probability that they meet at the Sports Club is $\frac{4}{9}$. The probability that they dine together at a party and at the Club are respectively $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{2}{5}$. On a certain weekend, the probability that they disperse without dining together is:

An ellipse is inscribed in a circle and a point is chosen at random inside the circle. If the probability that this point lies outside the ellipse is $\frac{2}{3}$,then the eccentricity of the ellipse is $\frac{a\sqrt{b}}{c}$,where $\gcd(a, c) = 1$ and $b$ is a square-free integer. Find the value of $a \cdot b \cdot c$.
