Three randomly chosen non negative integers x,y,z are found to satisfy the equation  x+y+z=10 . Then the probability that z is even, is
 
  1. 3655
  2. 611
  3. 511
  4. 12

Solution

Let z=2k,  where  k=0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

    x+y=10-2k

Number of non negative integral solutions

k=05 11-2kC1= 11-2k=36

Total cases = 10+3-1C3-1=66

Required probability =3666= 611
