Two integers are selected at random from the set \(\{1, 2, …, 11\}.\) Given that the sum of selected numbers is even, the conditional probability that both the numbers are even is

  1. A \(\frac {7}{10}\)
  2. B \(\frac {1}{2}\)
  3. C \(\frac {2}{5}\)
  4. D \(\frac {3}{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac {2}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{P}=\frac{\text { both number is even }}{\text { number of ways selecting two numbers such that their sum is even. }}\) \( = \frac{{{\,^5}{C_2}}}{{^5{C_2} + {\,^6}{C_2}}} = \frac{{10}}{{10 + 15}} = \frac{{10}}{{25}} = \frac{2}{5}\)
