Three numbers are chosen at random without replacement from 1, 2,...

Three numbers are chosen at random without replacement from 1,2,3,……,8{ 1, 2, 3, \ldots \ldots , 8 }. The probability that their minimum is 33, given that their maximum is 66, is

Options

  1. A38\dfrac{3}{8}
  2. B15\dfrac{1}{5}
  3. C14\dfrac{1}{4}
  4. D25\dfrac{2}{5}

Correct answer

B. 15\dfrac{1}{5}

Step-by-step solution

Let AA be the event that maximum is 66.

BB be the event that minimum is 33.

P(A)=C25C38P\left(A\right) = \dfrac{C2 5}{C3 8} (number less than 66 is 55)

P(B)=C25C38P\left(B\right) = \dfrac{C2 5}{C3 8} (number greater than 33 is 55)

P(A∩B)=C12C38P\left(A \cap B\right) = \dfrac{C1 2}{C3 8}

∴∴ Required probability

=P(B/A)=P(A∩B)P(A)=C12C25=210=15= P\left(B / A\right) = \dfrac{P\left(A \cap B\right)}{P\left(A\right)} = \dfrac{C1 2}{C2 5} = \dfrac{2}{10} = \dfrac{1}{5}
