Question

There are m persons setting in a row. Tow of then the selected at random. The probability that the two selected person are not together is

Solution

Correct option is

The total number of ways of selecting two persons out of m is

                       

The number of ways in which the two selected persons are together is (m– 1). Therefore, the number of ways in which the two selected person are not together is

                         

Thus, the probability of the required event is
