Probability 1 Question 19
27. In how many ways three girls and nine boys can be seated in two vans, each having numbered seats, 3 in the front and 4 at the back? How many seating arrangements are possible if 3 girls should sit together in a back row on adjacent seats? Now, if all the seating arrangements are equally likely, what is the probability of 3 girls sitting together in a back row on adjacent seats?
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 27. 0.62
Solution:
- We have 14 seats in two vans and there are 9 boys and 3 girls. The number of ways of arranging 12 people on 14 seats without restriction is
Now, the number of ways of choosing back seats is 2 . and the number of ways of arranging 3 girls on adjacent seats is
Therefore, the required number of ways
Hence, the probability of the required event
