Ans. Let A denote the probability of guessing correct answer and B denote the probability of not guessing correct answer.

Then, $p (A) = \frac{x}{2} a n d p (B) = \frac{2}{3}$

$p (A) + p (B) = 1$

=> $\frac{x}{2} + \frac{2}{3} = 1$

=> $\frac{x}{2} = 1 - \frac{2}{3}$

=> $\frac{x}{2} = \frac{1}{3}$

=> $x = \frac{2}{3}$
