Fifteen persons among whom are A and B, sit down at random at a round table. The probability that there are 4 persons between A and B is: |
$\frac{9!}{14!}$ $\frac{10!}{14!}$ $\frac{9!}{15!}$ None of these |
None of these |
Fix 'A': Now B will have '2' positions. Choose 4 people out of 13 and place them in between A and B and arrange rest 9 people amogst themselves. ⇒ Favorable ways = $2×({^{13}C}_4.4!)×9!$ and total ways = 14! ⇒ P(required) = $\frac{2×{^{13}C}_4×4!×9!}{14!}=\frac{1}{7}$ |
