A group of 2n boys and 2n girls is divided at random into two equal batches. The probability that each batch will have equal number of boys and girls is(a) \(\frac{1}{2}n\)(b) \(\frac{1}{4}n\)(c) \(\frac{(^{2n}C_n)^2}{^{4n}C_{2n}}\)d) 2nCn

Answer»

(c) \(\frac{(^{2n}C_n)^2}{^{4n}C_{2n}}\)

Total number of boys and girls = 2n + 2n = 4n 

Since, there are two equal batches, each batch has 2n members 

∴ Let S (Sample space) : Selecting one batch out of 2 

⇒ S : Selecting 2n members out of 4n members. 

⇒ n(S) = 4nC2n 

If each batch has to have equal number of boys and girls, each batch should have n boys and n girls. 

Let E : Event that each batch has ‘n’ boys and ‘n’ girls

⇒ n(E) = 2nCn × 2nCn = (2nCn)2

∴ Required probability = \(\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}\) = \(\frac{(^{2n}C_n)^2}{^{4n}C_{2n}}\)

Total number of ways of choosing a group is:  4nCn

The number of ways in which each group contains equal number of boys and girls is: 

(2nCn)(2nCn)

∴ Required probability is (2nCn)2 / 4nCn 

optoin c is correct
