Option 2 : Quantity A < Quantity B
Quantity A∶
Total 8 people are standing in the line;
Conditions when Vikas and Kishan will have 4 people between them∶
1. Vikas at 1st position and Kishan at 6th position & vice versa:
⇒ Number of such arrangements = 2 × 6!
2. Vikas at 2nd position and Kishan at 7th position & vice versa∶
⇒ Number of such arrangements = 2 × 6!
3. Vikas at 3rd position and Kishan at 8th position & vice versa∶
⇒ Number of such arrangements = 2 × 6!
∴ Total number of arrangements when Vikas and Kishan will have 4 people between them = 3 × 2 × 6!
∵ Number of arrangements in which 8 people will stand in a line = 8!
∴ Required probability = (3 × 2 × 6!)/8! = 3/28
Quantity B∶
Total bulbs = 14, faulty bulbs are 9, so non-faulty will be 5.
∴ Required probability = 5C2/14C2 = 10/91
∴ Quantity A < Quantity B
