There are four machines and it is known that exactly two of them are faulty. They are tested, one by one, in a random order till both the faulty machines are identified. Then the probability that only two tests are needed is

Seven white balls and three black balls are randomly placed in a row. The probability that no two black balls are placed adjacently equals

A fair coin is tossed repeatedly. If the tail appears on first four tosses, then the probability of the head appearing on the fifth toss equals

For the three events $$A, B,$$ and $$C,P$$ (exactly one of the events $$A$$ or $$B$$ occurs) $$=P$$ (exactly one of the two events $$B$$ or $$C$$ occurs)$$=P$$ (exactly one of the events $$C$$ or $$A$$ occurs)$$=p$$ and $$P$$ (all the three events occur simultaneously) $$ = {p^2},$$ where $$0 < p < 1/2.$$ Then the probability of at least one of the three events $$A,B$$ and $$C$$ occurring is
