A.
$\frac{1}{2}$
B.
$\frac{1}{3}$
C.
$\frac{2}{5}$
D.
$\frac{1}{5}$
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Let E = event when each American man is seated adjacent to his wife and
A = event when Indian man is seated adjacent to his wife.
Now,
$n(A\cap E)=(4!)\times(2!)^5$
Event when each American man is seated adjacent to his wife.
Let H$_1$, H$_2$, ..., H$_n$ be mutually exclusive and exhaustive events with P(H$_i$) > 0, i = 1, 2, ..., n. Let E be any other event with 0 < P(E) < 1.
If $n$ is even and E denotes the event of choosing even numbered urn $\left(\mathrm{P}\left(u_{i}\right)=\frac{1}{n}\right)$,
then the value of $\mathrm{P}(w / \mathrm{E})$ is :
