Each of the two boxes A and B contain 10 chits numbered 1 to 10 . If one chit is drawn at random from each of A and B , then the probability that the number on the chit drawn from A is smaller than the number on the chit drawn from B , is
Options
- A9 10
- B9 20
- C19 20
- D17 20
Correct answer
B. 9 20
Step-by-step solution
According to the given information, If drawn number from A is 1 , then the favourable drawn number from B are 2,3,4, 10 , are total 9 cases. Similarly, for 2 , there are 8 cases and so on. aligned Required probability & = 9+8+7+ +2+1 10 10 & = 9 5 10 10 = 9 20 aligned Hence, option (b) is correct.
