Two bolts, two nuts and three needles are in a box. Two parts are choosen at random from the box. What is the probability that one is a bolt and one is a needle?
Options
- A2 21
- B4 21
- C6 21
- D12 21
Correct answer
C. 6 21
Step-by-step solution
2 Bolts, 2 Nuts, 3 Needles Total number of possible outcomes, when we choose 2 parts n(S)= ^7 C₂= 7 6 1 2 =21 Let E be the event that the parts drawn are bolt and needle. array ll & n(E)= ^2 C₁ ^3 C₁=6 & P(E)= n(E) n(S) = 6 21 array
