1 Answer

Answer :

(c) \(rac{3}{8}\)Total number of ways of checking in the 4 hotels by 3 men = 4 × 4 × 4 = 43. Number of ways in which each man checks into a different hotel = 4 × 3 × 2 (As for the 1st person, there are 4 choices, for 2nd remaining 3, and for the 3rd remaining 2). ∴ P(Each person checks into a different hotel)= \(rac{4 imes3 imes2}{4 imes4 imes4}\) = \(rac{3}{8}\).
