Out of 3n consecutive natural numbers 3 natural numbers are chosen at random without replacement. -Maths 9th

1 Answer

Answer :

(c) \(rac{3n^2-3n+2}{(3n-1)(3n-2)}\)In 3n consecutive natural numbers, (i) n numbers are of the form 3p (ii) n numbers are of the form 3p + 1 (iii) n numbers are of the form 3p + 2 For the sum of the chosen 3 numbers to be divisible by 3, we can proceed in two ways: (i) Either we can select all the three numbers from any one of the set or (ii) We can select one number from each set.∴ Favourable number of cases = nC3 + nC3 + nC3 + (nC1 × nC1 × nC1)
