there are 23 chits numbered from 1 to 23. sonu pick up a chit and puts it back. monu picks another chit and puts it back. what is the probability that monu's chit number is greater than that of sonu's.

- the no of cheat is 1 2 3 4 5................23,so the ans is 1/23*22/23+1/23*21/23+.......................1/23*1/23
1/23*1/23(22+21+20+19+....................1)
(1/23*1/23)(22*23)/2=11/23 ans - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(18) No(1)
- Easier Way : There is one possibility that both cards picked will be same.
Removing that we are left with 22 ways of choosing a card out of which only exactly half ways are of choosing a greater(smaller) card ..i.e. 11
That's why probability = 11/23.

- The no of ways sonu can pick up the chits=23
The no of ways monu can pick up the chits=23
therefore total no of ways chits can b picked up=23*23(maximum no of cases)
now if sonu picks 1 monu can pick 22 larger chits
if he picks 2 monu can pick 21 larger chits
and so on.....
therefore no of favourable cases = 22+21+20......+1
this is an ap with d=-1 a=23 n=23
sum = 23*11
therfore required probab=(23*11)/(23*23)=11/23 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(1)
- 1/23 *( 22/22 + 21/22 + 20/22 + .... + 1/22) = 0.5

- 1/2-1/23=22/46=11/23
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(2)
- The answer would be 1/2
bcoz sonu picks a card and put it back now we left 22 cards ,total no of occurences is (23*22)
now no of occurrence for which monu picks greater than sonu is simple....think
(1,2),(1,3)..........(1,23)->23
+
(2,3),(2,4).........(2,23)->22
.....this way no of occur=1+2+3......23=11*23
p(n)= (11*23) /(22*23)=11/22=0.5 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
