ISI 2021 | PCB Mathematics | Question: 3
Consider a two-player game between Alice and Bob, in which the players take turns to roll a fair six-faced die. Alice rolls the die first. Then Bob rolls the die and he wins if he gets the same outcome as Alice. Otherwise, Alice rolls the ... first three rolls (two by Alice and one by Bob) of the die. What is the probability that Alice will win the game?

ISI 2021 | PCB Mathematics | Question: 8
Calculate the number of different ways you can divide $2 n$ elements of the set $S=\{1,2, \ldots, 2 n\}$ to form $n$ disjoint subsets, each containing a pair of elements. Calculate the number of different ways in which the above division can be done if each subset is required to contain an even number and an odd number.
