Last Answer : (d) \(rac{7}{13}\)Here n(S) = 52 Let A, B, C be the events of getting a red card, a diamond and a jack respectively. ∵ There are 26 red cards, 13 diamonds and 4 jacks, n(A) = 26, n(B) = 13, n(C) = 4 ⇒ n(A ∩ B) = ... rac{1}{52}\)= \(rac{44}{52}\) + \(rac{16}{52}\) = \(rac{28}{52}\) = \(rac{7}{13}\) .

The probability that in the random arrangement of the letters of the word ‘UNIVERSITY’the two I‘s do not come together is -Maths 9th

Description : The probability that in the random arrangement of the letters of the word ‘UNIVERSITY’the two I‘s do not come together is -Maths 9th

Last Answer : (b) \(rac{4}{5}\)Let S be the sample space. Then, n(S) = Total number of waysin which the letters of the word UNIVERSITY' can be arranged = \(rac{10!}{2!}\) (∵ There are 2I s) ... ! imes36}{rac{10!}{2!}}\) = \(rac{ ot8! imes36 imes2!}{10 imes9 imes ot8!}\) = \(rac{4}{5}\).
