Anil is buying a ticket find the probability that he get a seat in Venkatesh Prasad stand. Correct Answer 1/3

 

Given:

Total number of vacant seats = 39

Total number of vacant seats in Venkatesh Prasad stand = 13

Formula:

 ncr = n!/(r!(n-r)!)

P(E) = Total favourable outcomes/Total outcomes

Calculation:

Total favourable outcomes =  13C1

Total outcomes = 39C1

Required probability=  13C1/39C1

 

⇒Required probability= 13/39

∴ The probability that he get a seat in Venkatesh Prasad stand is 1/3
