Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2023

Let N denote the sum of the numbers obtained when two dice are rolled. If the probability that ${2^N} < N!$ is ${m \over n}$, where m and n are coprime, then $4m-3n$ is equal to :

  1. A 12
  2. B 6
  3. C 8 Correct answer
  4. D 10

Solution

$N$ denote the sum of the numbers obtained when two dice are rolled. <br/><br/>Such that $2^N < N$! <br/><br/>$\text { i.e., } 4 \leq N \leq 12 \text { i.e., } N \in\{4,5,6, \ldots 12\}$ <br/><br/>Now, $P(N=2)+P(N=3)=\frac{1}{36}+\frac{2}{36}=\frac{3}{36}=\frac{1}{12}$ <br/><br/>So, required probability $=1-\frac{1}{12}=\frac{11}{12}=\frac{m}{n}$ <br/><br/>$4 m-3 n=4 \times 11-3 \times 12=44-36=8$
