    If \[X\] is a poisson variate such that \[P(X=1)=P(X=2),\] then \[P\,(X=4)\]is equal to

    A)  \[\frac{1}{2{{e}^{2}}}\]

    B)  \[\frac{1}{3{{e}^{2}}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{2}{3{{e}^{2}}}\]

    D)  \[\frac{1}{{{e}^{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given, \[P(X=1)=P(X=2)\] \[\frac{{{e}^{-\lambda }}\lambda }{1!}=\frac{{{e}^{-\lambda }}{{\lambda }^{2}}}{2!}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\lambda =2\] \[\therefore \] \[P(X=4)=\frac{{{e}^{-2}}{{2}^{4}}}{4!}=\frac{2}{3{{e}^{2}}}\]
