Step 1: Define toss positions
First six tosses:
$T_1,T_2,T_3,T_4,T_5,T_6$
Last five tosses:
$T_4,T_5,T_6,T_7,T_8$
Notice overlap: $T_4,T_5,T_6$
Step 2: Conditions given
Let number of heads among overlapping tosses $T_4,T_5,T_6$ be $k$.
Then:
Heads in $(T_1,T_2,T_3)$ = $4-k$
Heads in $(T_7,T_8)$ = $3-k$
Possible values of $k$:
$k=1,2,3$
Step 3: Count favorable outcomes
Choose 1 head among overlap:
$\binom{3}{1}$
Need $3$ heads among first three tosses:
$\binom{3}{3}$
Need $2$ heads among last two tosses:
$\binom{2}{2}$
Total:
$3 \times 1 \times 1 = 3$
$\binom{3}{2}\binom{3}{2}\binom{2}{1}$
$= 3 \times 3 \times 2 = 18$
$\binom{3}{3}\binom{3}{1}\binom{2}{0}$
$= 1 \times 3 \times 1 = 3$
Step 4: Total favorable outcomes
$3 + 18 + 3 = 24$
Total outcomes for 8 tosses:
$2^8 = 256$
So,
$ p = \frac{24}{256} = \frac{3}{32}$
Step 5: Compute $96p$
$96p = 96 \times \frac{3}{32}$
$= 3 \times 3 = 9$
Final Answer:
$\boxed{9}$

Given three indentical bags each containing 10 balls, whose colours are as follows :
| Red | Blue | Green | |
| Bag I | 3 | 2 | 5 |
| Bag II | 4 | 3 | 3 |
| Bag III | 5 | 1 | 4 |
A person chooses a bag at random and takes out a ball. If the ball is Red, the probability that it is from bag I is $p$ and if the ball is Green, the probability that it is from bag III is $q$, then the value of $\left( \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} \right)$ is:
A bag contains 19 unbiased coins and one coin with head on both sides. One coin drawn
at random is tossed and head turns up. If the probability that the drawn coin was unbiased,
is $\frac{m}{n}$, gcd (m, n) = 1, then $n^2 - m^2$ is equal to :
