If `p` is the probability that a man aged `x` will die in a year, then the probability that out of `n` men `A_1,A_2, A_n` each aged `x ,A_1` will die in an year and be the first to die is `1-(1-p)^n` b. `(1-p)^n` c. `1//n[1-(1-p)^n]` d. `1//n(1-p)^n`

A coin is tossed. If head appears a fair die is thrown three times otherwise a biased die with probability of obtaining an even number twice as that of an odd number is thrown three times. If (n_(1),n_(2),n_(3)) is an outcome, (1 le n_(1) le6) and is found to satisfy the equation i^(n_(1))+i^(n_(2))+i^(n_(3))=1 , , then the probability that a fair die was thrown is (where i=sqrt(-1))
