        A fair die is tossed eight times. The probability that a third six is observed on the eight throw is:

    A)  \[\frac{^{7}{{C}_{2}}\times {{5}^{5}}}{{{6}^{7}}}\]                           

    B)  \[\frac{^{7}{{C}_{2}}\times {{5}^{5}}}{{{6}^{8}}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{^{7}{{C}_{2}}\times {{5}^{5}}}{{{6}^{6}}}\]

    D)  none of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Required probability \[{{=}^{7}}{{C}_{2}}{{\left( \frac{1}{6} \right)}^{2}}{{\left( \frac{5}{6} \right)}^{2}}\times \frac{1}{6}\]\[=\frac{^{7}{{C}_{2}}\times {{5}^{5}}}{{{6}^{8}}}\]
