Step-by-step explanation:

i just took it

Answer 2

The probability that the sequence is guessed on the first try is 1/24.

Probability

Total colors available for making code=4

Colors required for making code=3

Hence:

Total ways of making code=4p3=4!/(4-3)!

=4×3×2×1/1

=24

Probability that the sequence is guessed on the first try=1/Total ways of making code

Probability that the sequence is guessed on the first try=1/24

Therefore the correct option is A.
