The correct answer is:
$\frac{324}{5 \mathrm{e}^6}$
$\begin{aligned} & \text {} 3 P(x=2)=P(x=4) \\ & \because P(x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^x}{x !} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{3 \cdot e^{-\lambda} \lambda^2}{2 !}=\frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^4}{4 !} \\ & \Rightarrow \lambda^2=\frac{4 ! \times 3}{2 !}=36 \\ & \Rightarrow \lambda=6 \\ & \therefore \quad P(x=6)=\frac{e^{-6}(6)^6}{6 !}=\frac{324}{5 e^6} .\end{aligned}$
