    An unbiased die, with faces numbered 1, 2, 3, 4. 5, 6, is thrown n times and the list of n numbers shown up is noted. Then, the probability that, among the numbers 1,2,3,4, 5. 6, only three numbers appear in this list, is

    A)  \[\frac{({{3}^{n}}{{.}^{6}}{{C}_{3}})}{{{6}^{n}}}\]                              

    B)  \[\frac{{{({{3}^{n}}-{{3.2}^{n}}+3)}^{6}}{{C}_{3}}}{{{6}^{n}}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{{{({{3}^{n}}-3)}^{6}}{{C}_{3}}}{{{6}^{n}}}\]                           

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let us define a onto function f from \[A:[{{r}_{1}},{{r}_{2}}.....,{{r}_{n}}]\] to   B :[1, 2, 3]   where \[{{r}_{1}},{{r}_{2}}\],......\[{{r}_{n}}\] are the readings of the n throws and 1, 2 and 3'are the numbers that appear in the n throws. Number of such functions \[M=N-[n(1)-n(2)+n(3)]\] Where N = total number of functions and n ((-) = number of functions having exactly t elements in the range. \[N={{3}^{n}},n(1)={{3.2}^{n}},n(2)=3,n(3)=0\] \[\therefore \]\[M=({{3}^{n}}-{{3.2}^{n}}+3+0)\] Hence, total number of favourable cases \[={{({{3}^{n}}-{{3.2}^{n}}+3)}^{6}}{{C}_{3}}\] Total number of cases\[={{6}^{n}}\] \[\therefore \] Required probability \[=\frac{{{({{3}^{n}}-{{3.2}^{n}}+3)}^{6}}{{C}_{3}}}{{{6}^{n}}}\]
