Answer» Correct Answer - D 10 mangoes can be distributed among 5 persons in `.^(10+5-1)C_(5-1)= .^(14)C_(4)` ways. `therefore` Total number of elementary events `= .^(14)C_(4)` Required probability =1 - Probability that each person receives at least one mango `=1- (.^(10-1)C_(5-1))/(.^(14)C_(4))=1-(.^(9)C_(4))/(.^(14)C_(4))=1-(18)/(143)=(125)/(143)` |
