JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 13. probability

let \(S = \{1, 2, … 20\}\). A subset \(B\) of \(S\) is said to be \(“nice”\), if the sum of the elements of \(B\) is \(203\). Then the probability that a randomly chosen subset of \(S\) is \(‘nice’\) is

  1. A \(\frac{7}{{{2^{20}}}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{5}{{{2^{20}}}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{4}{{{2^{20}}}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{6}{{{2^{20}}}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{5}{{{2^{20}}}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Sum of all elements of \(S=210\) So \(X\) be a nice set if \(x=\{S-\{7\}, S-\{1,6\}, S-\{2,5\}, S-\{3,4\}, S-\{1,2,4\}\}\) \(P(x)=\frac{5}{2^{20}}\) \(\therefore(2)\) is the answer.
