`3//8`

B

`5//8`

C

`1//4`

D

`3//4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`(a)` Let us first distribute `4` left gloves to four person in `4!` ways.
If no one gets the corresponding right glove then no. of ways `=4!(1-(1)/(1!)+(1)/(2!)-(1)/(3!)+(1)/(4!))=9`
Then number of favourble ways `=9xx4!=216`
Total number of ways `4!xx4!`
`:.` Required propability `=(216)/(4!xx4!)=(216)/(576)=(3)/(8)`
