Let S be the set of all the words that can be formed by arranging all the letters of the word GARDEN. From the set S, one word is selected at random. The probability that the selected word will NOT have vowels in alphabetical order is:
(A) $\frac{1}{4}$
(B) $\frac{1}{2}$
(C) $\frac{1}{3}$
(D) $\frac{2}{3}$
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
A, E,G R D N

Probabllity $(P) = \frac{\text{favourable case}}{\text{Total case}}$

(when A & E are in order)

Total case = $6!$

Favourable case = ${6}C_2 . 4! = (15)4! = (30)4!$

$P = \frac{(15)4!}{(30)4!} = \frac{1}{2}$

Probability when not in order = $1 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}$

Given three indentical bags each containing $10$ balls, whose colours are as follows: | | Red | Blue | Green | |--------|-----|------|-------| | Bag I | $3$ | $2$ | $5$ | | Bag II | $4$ | $3$ | $3$ | | Bag III| $5$ | $1$ | $4$ | A person chooses a bag at random and takes out a ball. If the ball is Red, the probability that it is from bag I is $p$ and if the ball is Green, the probability that it is from bag III is $q$, then the value of $(\frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q})$ is:
