0. What is the probability that a randomly selected bit string of length 10 is a palindrome?
- Option : B
- Explanation : In the given question we have a palindrome: in even length palindrome half length is fixed and rest is repeated. So, in 10 bit palindrome, we have 5 position to be filled with 2 choices each-
i.e. 25 choices for first half and 25 choices for second half.
Probability = favorable outcome / total outcome
= 25/ 210
= 1 / 25
= 1 / 32.
So, option (B) is correct.
