Options:
A) $ \frac{{}^{8}C_6\times {}^{7}C_5}{{}^{15}C_{11}} $
B) $ \frac{^{8}C_6{{+}^{7}}C_5}{^{15}C_{11}} $
C) $ \frac{15}{28} $
D) None of these
Correct Answer: AShow Answer
Answer:
Solution:
Total number of ways $ ={{\,}^{15}}C_{11} $ Favourable cases $ ={{\,}^{8}}C_6 $ $ \times {{\,}^{7}}C_5 $ Required probability $ =\frac{^{8}C_6\times {{\,}^{7}}C_5}{^{15}C_{11}}. $
