Question:

Four persons are choosen at random from a group of 3 men, 2 women and 4 children. The probability of having 2 children out of 4 is :

Options:

$\frac{1}{9}$

$\frac{1}{5}$

$\frac{10}{21}$

$\frac{1}{12}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{10}{21}$

Explanation:

Since we want exactly 2 of them to be children, we choose the 2 children first in 4C2=6 ways

Choose the other 2 people from the men and women in 5C2=10 ways

The universal set had 9C4=126 number of ways

Hence, probability is 10×6/126 = 10/21
