Three friends A, B and C are playing with a pair of dice. They throw two dice alternately. Coming of a doublet on two dice leads to a success and the game stops. If A starts the game, then the probability of his winning, is :

The random variable X can take values 0, 1, 2. If $P(X=0)=P(X=1)=\alpha$, and $E(X^2)=E(X)$, then which of the following are correct?

(A) $E(X) = 2-3\alpha$

(B) $E(X^2) = 4+7\alpha$

(C) $\alpha = \frac{1}{2}$

(D) $\alpha = \frac{1}{5}$

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Let $X$ denote the number of hours you play during a randomly selected day. The probability that $X$ can take values $x$ has the following form, where $c$ is some constant.

$\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=\mathrm{x})=\left\{\begin{array}{lll} 0.1, & \text { if } \mathrm{x}=0 \\ \mathrm{cx}, & \text { if } \mathrm{x}=1 \text { or } \mathrm{x}=2 \\ \mathrm{c}(5-\mathrm{x}), & \text { if } \mathrm{x}=3 \text { or } \mathrm{x}=4 \\ 0, & \text { otherwise } \end{array}\right.$
