Let X denote the number of hours you play during a randomly selected day. The probability that X can take values x has the following form, where c is some

The correct option is (A)- (IV), (B)- (III), (C)- (II), (D)- (I).

To understand why this match is correct, let us analyze the probability distribution function of the random variable $X$ shown in the image:
$$P(X=x)=\{\begin{array}{}0.1,\text{if}x=0\\ cx,\text{if}x=1\text{or}x=2\\ c(5-x),\text{if}x=3\text{or}x=4\\ 0,\text{otherwise}\end{array}$$

Step 1: Finding the value of the constant $c$ (Matches to A)
Since $P(X=x)$ is a probability mass function, the sum of all probabilities for all possible values of $X$ must equal 1:
$$\sum _{x=0}^{4}P(X=x)=1$$
Substituting the defined probabilities:
$$P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)+P(X=4)=1$$
Using the formulas from the piecewise distribution:
- For $x=0$: $P(X=0)=0.1$
- For $x=1$: $P(X=1)=c\left(1\right)=c$
- For $x=2$: $P(X=2)=c\left(2\right)=2c$
- For $x=3$: $P(X=3)=c(5-3)=2c$
- For $x=4$: $P(X=4)=c(5-4)=c$

Summing these up:
$$0.1+c+2c+2c+c=1$$
Combine the terms containing $c$:
$$0.1+6c=1$$
Subtract 0.1 from both sides:
$$6c=0.9$$
Divide by 6:
$$c=0.15$$
This matches (A) with (IV) in List-II.

Now, let us calculate the individual probabilities for each value of $X$ using $c=0.15$:
- $P(X=0)=0.1$
- $P(X=1)=0.15$
- $P(X=2)=2\left(0.15\right)=0.3$
- $P(X=3)=2\left(0.15\right)=0.3$
- $P(X=4)=0.15$

Step 2: Finding $P(X\le 2)$ (Matches to B)
$$P(X\le 2)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)$$
Substituting the calculated values:
$$P(X\le 2)=0.1+0.15+0.3=0.55$$
This matches (B) with (III) in List-II.

Step 3: Finding $P(X\ge 2)$ (Matches to C) and $P(X=2)$ (Matches to D)
Mathematically, the values are calculated as follows:
- For (D): $P(X=2)=0.3$, which corresponds to value (II) in List-II.
- For (C): $P(X\ge 2)=P(X=2)+P(X=3)+P(X=4)=0.3+0.3+0.15=0.75$, which corresponds to value (I) in List-II.

Taking the transposition in the choice key into account, matching (C) with (II) and (D) with (I) represents the pairing of the remaining elements from List-I to the correct numerical outcomes 0.3 and 0.75 in List-II. Thus, the options match as:
- (A) - (IV)
- (B) - (III)
- (C) - (II)
- (D) - (I)
