For an initial screening of an admission test, a candidate is given fifty problems to solve. If the probability that the candidate can solve any problem is `(4)/(5)` then the probability that he is unable to solve less than two problem is :

A

`201/5(1/5)^(49)`

B

`54/5(4/5)^(49)`

C

`134/25(1/5)^(48)`

D

`316/25(4/5)^(48)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`P(s)=4/5,P(f)=1/5`
P(o failiure + failure) `=(4/5)^(50)+.^(50)C_(1)xx(4/5)^(49)xx(1/4)=(4/5)^(49)(4/5+10)=(4/5)^(49)(54/5)`
