Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`because`Card numbered 1 is always placed in envelope numbered 1, we can consider two cases.
Case I Card numbered 2 is placed I envelope numbered 1, then it is derangement of 4 objects, which can be done in
`4!(1-(1)/(1!)+(1)/(2!)-(1)/(3!)+(1)/(4!))=9` ways
Case II card numbered 2 is not placed in envelope numbered 1, then it is derangement of 5 objects, which can be done in
`5!(1-(1)/(1!)+(1)/(2!)-(1)/(3!)+(1)/(4!)-(1)/(5!))=44` ways
`therefore`Total ways=9+44=53 ways.
