Word ‘$UNIVERSITY$’ is arranged randomly. Then the probability that both ‘$I$’ does not come together, is

A

$\frac{3}{5}$

B

$\frac{2}{5}$

C

$\frac{4}{5}$

D

$\frac{1}{5}$

Solution

(c) Total number of ways $ = \frac{{10\,!}}{{2\,!}}$

Favourable number of ways for $'I'$ come together is $9\,!$

Thus probability that $'I'$ come together

$ = \frac{{9\,!\, \times \,2\,!}}{{10\,!}} = \frac{2}{{10}} = \frac{1}{5}$.

Hence required probability $ = 1 – \frac{1}{5} = \frac{4}{5}.$
