A player pulls a card from a pack of 6 cards numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 respectively. Then he pulls another card without replacing the first card. What is the probability that he gets the card numbered 2 when he pulls the card second time?
B
Correct answer
Explanation
The required event can happen if in the first attempt 2 is not pulled and in the second attempt it is pulled. The probability that 2 is not pulled in the first attempt is 5/6. After the first card is pulled and not replaced, there are only 5 cards left in which 2 is also there. The probability of this getting pulled now is 1/5. Hence the required probability is 5/6*1/5 = 1/6.
