A free variable needs consistency too

Let and be two independent discrete random variables such that follows binomial distribution with parameters n = 2 and p = 1/2, and follows Poisson distribution with mean 1. Consider the following system of equations with three variables and . Then, the probability that the given system of equations has infinite number of solutions equals

  1. A.e⁻
  2. B.e⁻
  3. C.e⁻
  4. D.e⁻

You have the answer. Trap Analysis is why the other three were written.

Not a worked solution repeated four times — the specific reasoning error each wrong option was built to reward.
