Q.

Let C1 and C2 be two biased coins such that the probabilities of getting head in a single toss are 34 and  14 respectively. Suppose α is the number of heads that appear when C1 is tossed twice, independently, and suppose β is the number of heads that appear when C2 is tossed twice, independently, Then probability that the roots of the quadratic polynomial x2αx+β are real and equal, is

 x2αx+β
Roots are real and equal  α2=4β
i)  β=0α=0(0H,0H)[2C0(34)0(14)2][2C0(14)0(34)2]=12.3244
ii)  β=1α=2(2H,1H)[2C2(34)2(14)0][2C1(14)1(34)1]=32.2.1.344
Required probability =  9256+54256=63256
