A biased die is marked with numbers 2,4,8,16,32,32 on its faces and the probability of getting a face with mark n is 1n. If the die is thrown thrice, then the probability, that the sum of the numbers obtained is 48, is
  1. 7211
  2. 7212
  3. 3210
  4. 13212

Solution

P2=12,P4=14,P8=18,P16=116,P32=132

When we get the faces as 8,8,32 then the probability will be 318×18×232=31024

When we get the faces as 16,16,16 then the probability will be 116×116×116=14096

Hence, the required probability will be31024+14096=134096
