                    The probability of a man hitting a target is \[\frac{2}{5}.\] He fires at the target k times (k, a given number). Then the minimum k, so that once is more than \[\frac{7}{10},\] is :                   JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 09 April 2013)

    A)                  3                

    B)                 5                

    C)                 2                

    D)                 4                

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Probability of at least one successes in k trials is \[\sum\limits_{r=1}^{K}{^{k}{{C}_{r}}\,{{p}^{r}}{{d}^{k-1}}}\]                 When \[k=3\]                 \[=\sum\limits_{r=1}^{3}{^{3}{{C}_{r}}\,{{P}^{r}}{{d}^{3-r}}}\]    (where \[p=\frac{2}{5},\,\,q=\frac{3}{5}\])                 \[{{=}^{3}}{{C}_{1}}\,{{\left( \frac{2}{5} \right)}^{1}}{{\left( \frac{3}{5} \right)}^{2}}{{+}^{3}}{{C}_{2}}{{\left( \frac{2}{5} \right)}^{2}}\left( \frac{3}{5} \right){{+}^{3}}{{C}_{3}}{{\left( \frac{2}{5} \right)}^{3}}{{\left( \frac{3}{5} \right)}^{0}}\]                 \[=3\left( \frac{2}{5} \right)\times \frac{9}{25}+3\times \frac{4}{25}\times \frac{3}{5}+\frac{8}{125}\times 1\]                 \[=\frac{54}{125}+\frac{36}{125}+\frac{8}{125}\]                 \[\frac{98}{125}>\frac{7}{10}\]
