Solution

The correct option is D. 23

The probability of guessing the correct answer to certain question is x2.

The probability of not guessing the correct answer to same question is 23.

Now, we know that,

P(happening of an event) + P(not happening of an event) =1

P(guessing the correct answer) + P(not guessing the correct answer) =1

x2+23=1

x2=123=13

x=23

Hence, x=23
