Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Jar contains 4 white and 4 black marbles

We randomly select 4 marbles out of which 2 are white and 2 are black

Probability that 2 white and 2 black marbles are selected is

P=\frac{^4C_2\times ^4C_2}{^8C_4}

P=\frac{18}{35}

The process is continue for n trails until we choose the correct order

i.e. we have to fail in n-1 trails

For exact n selection Probability is given by

Req.\ Probability=Probability\ of\ failure\ in\ (n-1)\ trials\times Probability\ of\ getting\ exact\ order

=\left ( 1-\frac{18}{35}\right )^{n-1}\times \frac{18}{35}

2x +y = 20~~....(i)\\\\6x -5y = -4~~....(ii)\\\\\\\text{Multiply equation (i) by 3:}\\\\6x +3y = 60~~...(iii)\\\\(iii)-(ii):\\\\6x+3y - 6x+5y = 60-(-4)\\\\\implies 8y = 60+4 = 64\\\\\implies y = \dfrac{64}8\\\\\implies y = 8\\\\\\\text{Substitute y =8 in equation (i):}\\\\2x+8 =20\\\\\implies 2x = 20-8 = 12\\\\\implies x = \dfrac{12}2 = 6\\\\\text{Hence (x,y) = (6, 8)}
