Q.

A dice is weighted such that the probability of rolling the face numbered n is proportional to n2 (n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). The dice is rolled twice, yielding the numbers a and b. The probability that a < b is p then the value of [2/p] (where [ . ] represents greatest integer function) is _______.

Detailed Solution

P(n)=Kn2

Given      P(1)=K,P(2)=22K,P(3)=32K,P(4)=42K,P(5)=52K,P(6)=62K

So, total probability = 91 K

 1=91K

 K=191

Therefore, P(1)=191;P(2)=491 and so on.

Let three events A, B and C be defined as

A:a<bB:a=bC:a>b

By symmetry, P(A) = P(C)

Also, P(A) + P(B) + P(C) = 1

Since   P(B)=i=16[P(i)]2

                 =1+16+81+256+625+129691×91=227591×91=2591

Now, 2P(A) + P(B) = 1

 P(A)=12[1P(B)]=3391

2p=2×9133=1823318233=5
