Let the probability of getting a head for a biased coin be $\frac{1}{4}$. It is tossed repeatedly until a head appears. Let $N$ be the number of tosses required. If the probability that the equation $64x^2 + 5Nx + 1 = 0$ has no real root is $\frac{p}{q}$,where $p$ and $q$ are co-prime,then $q - p$ is equal to

  • A
    $27$
  • B
    $25$
  • C
    $24$
  • D
    $26$

$A$ and $B$ throw a pair of dice alternately and they note the sum of the numbers appearing on the dice. $A$ wins if he throws $6$ before $B$ throws $7$,and $B$ wins if he throws $7$ before $A$ throws $6$. If $A$ begins,the probability of $A$ winning is:
