In a lottery there were 90 tickets numbered 1 to 90. Five tickets were drawn at random. The probability that two of the tickets drawn numbers 15 and 89 is

• A. $\frac { 2 } { 801 }$
• B. $\frac { 2 } { 623 }$
• C. $\frac { 1 } { 267 }$
• D. $\frac { 1 } { 623 }$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$\frac { 2 } { 801 }$
