3 houses are available in a locality.
3 persons apply for the houses.Each apply for one house without consulting others.the probablity that all 3 apply for the same house is:
a)2/9
b)1/9
c)8/9
d)7/9
Read Solution (Total 11)
-
- let there be three house a,b,c then there would be 27 ways in which 3 person x,y,z select house
there will be 1 case when x,y,z will buy house a
another when they buy house b
and another when they buy house c
so the prob that they buy same house is 3*1/27=1/9
Ans) (b) 1/9 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(29) No(1)
- 7/9
find the probabilty when people apply for different houses. - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(4)

- 1/9 is ans
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- 1/9 IS ANSWER

- probability of selecting any one is 1/3
and selecting one from three is 1/9 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- Ans = b;
For a particular house being selected, probability = 1/3
Probability all the persons apply for the same house = (1/3×1/3×1/3)3
=(1/27)×3
=1/9

- One person can select one house out of 3= inline {color{Black}3C_{1}} ways =3.
Hence, three persons can select one house out of 3 in 3 x 3 x 3 =9.
Therefore, probability that all thre apply for the same house is 1/9 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 3/3*1/3*1/3 = 1/9
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Let 1 person select 1 house. Then the probability that 2nd and 3rd also apply for the same house is 1/3 X 1/3 as total houses are 3.
= 1/9 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
