In this video, we will delve into the world of probability and solve a challenging puzzle involving tossing a coin multiple times. We will discuss the concept of random variables and how they are used to represent the outcomes of a probability experiment. Specifically, we will focus on the variable X, which denotes the number of heads that occur in a series of coin tosses.

The puzzle asks us to find the value of 'n' such that the probabilities of getting 4, 5, and 6 heads in 'n' tosses of a fair coin form an arithmetic progression (A.P.). We will explore the properties of A.P.s and use them to develop a system of equations that will allow us to solve for 'n'.

We will explain the steps involved in solving the system of equations and demonstrate how to use algebraic manipulation to simplify the expressions. Finally, we will arrive at the solution for 'n' and verify it using some basic probability calculations.

By the end of this video, you will have a deeper understanding of probability, random variables, and arithmetic progressions. You will also have learned a valuable problem-solving technique that can be applied to many other probability puzzles.
