Question

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: An elevator starts with m passengers and stops at n floors (m $\leq$ n). The probability that no two passengers alight at the same floor is $\frac{^np_m}{m_n}$
Reason R: If (n + 1) p is an integer, say m, then$p(x=r)= ^nC_rp^Ω(1-p)^{n-Ω}$is maximum when r = m or r = m -1
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

• A. Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
• B. Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A
• C. A is correct but R is not corret
• D. A is not correct but R is correct

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A

Answer 2

The correct answer is(B): Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A
