Why 50% probability will not work.<br />Consider this . The four answers are given . We do not know the question. Suppose the question is what is the probability of getting a head in tossing a coin. In such case the correct ans will be option b). So there can be a correct ans and it will have its probability. U cannot say all answers are wrong.Dipankarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893315201359920156.post-76666894529997126632013-03-28T22:44:19.622+05:302013-03-28T22:44:19.622+05:30awesome Ans

Standard 1-in-4 gives 25%, but that one is on there twice, leading to a flipping paradox between 25% and 50%. So neither of those is a stable solution. 0, however, is totally stable, given that it doesn't appear in the options - therefor, if it *is* correct, the probability of picking it is 0 out of 4, and thus it is a valid solution.<br /><br />0%.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893315201359920156.post-67134093137465144262013-03-28T02:38:42.105+05:302013-03-28T02:38:42.105+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071475825578763985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893315201359920156.post-77179186639271743432013-03-28T01:27:19.960+05:302013-03-28T01:27:19.960+05:30Probability is 1/3.
