Mathematics Question on Probability

A bag contains 5050 tickets numbered 1,2,3,...,501, 2, 3, ...,50 of which five are drawn at random and arranged in ascending order of magnitude $ ({{x}_{1}}

A

29C2×20C250C5\frac{^{29}{{C}_{2}}{{\times }^{20}}{{C}_{2}}}{^{50}{{C}_{5}}}

B

D

Answer

29C2×20C250C5\frac{^{29}{{C}_{2}}{{\times }^{20}}{{C}_{2}}}{^{50}{{C}_{5}}}

Explanation

Solution

Let E= Event of getting 5 tickets ascending order. Since, it is given that number 30 is on 3rd position. So we have to choose two numbers from 1 to 29 numbers and choose two numbers from 31 to 50
\therefore n(E)=29C2×20C2n(E){{=}^{29}}{{C}_{2}}{{\times }^{20}}{{C}_{2}}
Total number of selection of 5 cards From 1 to 50 is,
n(S)=50C5n(S){{=}^{50}}{{C}_{5}}
\therefore Required probability
=n(E)n(S)=29C2×20C250C5=\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}=\frac{^{29}{{C}_{2}}{{\times }^{20}}{{C}_{2}}}{^{50}{{C}_{5}}}
