To solve the problem, we need to find the probability that India's second win occurs at the third test match. Given that the probability of India winning a match (W) is \( P(W) = \frac{1}{2} \) and the probability of losing a match (L) is \( P(L) = 1 - P(W) = \frac{1}{2} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Events**: - We want the second win (W) to occur on the third test. This means we need to consider the outcomes of the first two tests. - The possible sequences for the first two tests that allow the second win to occur on the third test are: - Case 1: Win (W), Lose (L), Win (W) → W, L, W ...
