JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Probability Question Bank Self Evaluation Test - Probability-I

  • question_answer
    If the papers of 4 students can be checked by any one of the 7 teachers, then the probability that all the 4 papers are checked by exactly 2 teachers is

    A) 2/7

    B) 12/49

    C) 32/343

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] The total number of ways in which papers of 4 students can be checked by seven teachers is \[{{7}^{4}}.\] The number of ways of choosing two teachers out of 7 is \[^{7}{{C}_{2}}.\] The number of ways in which they can check four papers is \[{{2}^{4}}.\] But this includes two ways I which all the papers will be checked by a single teacher. Therefore, the number of ways  in which 4 papers can be checked by exactly two teachers is \[{{2}^{4}}-2=14.\] Therefore, the number of favourable ways is \[{{(}^{7}}{{C}_{2}})(14)=(21)(14).\] Thus, the required probability is \[(21)(14)/{{7}^{4}}=6/49.\]
