Detailed Solution

Given that,
The probability of green signal on crossing X=P(G)=30100=310
The probability of not a green signal on crossing X=PG=1310=710
Now the probability of finding a green signal on X on two consecutive days out of three is possible if of day 1 and 2 the signal will green and on day three it will not green or on day 1 signal is not green but on day 2 and 3 it will green,

Hence the required probability is,

=PG,G,G+PG,G,G=310×310×710+310×310×710=631000+631000=63500
Therefore, the probability of finding a green signal on X on two consecutive days out of three is 63500
