Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Total outcomes i which both the students are in same section from 40 students `=^{98} C_{38}`

Total outcomes in which both the students are in same section out of 60 students `=^{98} C_{58}`

(a) `P` (Both the students enter in in same section)

`=frac{{ }^{98} C_{38}+{ }^{98} C_{58}}{{ }^{100} C_{40}}=frac{frac{98 !}{38 ! 60 !}+frac{98 !}{58 ! 40 !}}{frac{100 !}{40 ! 60 !}}`

`=frac{98 ![frac{1}{3816015 frac{1}{58140} !}.}{frac{100 !}{40 ! 60 !}}`

`=frac{frac{981 times 58 ! times 38 !}{38 ! times 60 ! times 58 ! times 40 !}(40 times 39+60 times 59)}{frac{100}{40 ! 60 !}}`

`=frac{98 !}{40 ! times 60 !} times 5100 times frac{40 ! times 60 !}{100 !}`
