But this answer is incorrect.
Pls help to solve this problem.
When the ball passes two pegs it will be either on the left or on the right route.
If ball is towards the left route, then possible number of ways = 4, out of which two will lead to cell 2
If ball is towards the right route, then possible number of ways = 4, out of which only one will lead to cell 2.
Therefore, there are a total of 8 ways out of which 2 + 1 = 3 lead to cell 2
So, required probability = [spoiler]3/8[/spoiler]
The correct answer is D.[spoiler][/spoiler]
