A) 551/15134 B) 1/2
C) 552/15379 D) 1/9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 551/15134

Explanation:

Total number of elementary events = 50C5
Given,third ticket =30

 

 

 

=> first and second should come from tickets numbered 1 to 29 = 29C2 ways and remaining two in 20C2 ways.

 

 

 

Therfore,favourable number of events = 29C2*20C2

 

 

 

Hence,required probability = 29C2*20C2/50C5 =551 / 15134
