Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{4}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( P(\text{I's together}) = \frac{9!}{\frac{10!}{2!}} = \frac{9! \times 2}{10!} = \frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5} \) \( P(\text{I's not together}) = 1 - P(\text{I's together}) = 1 - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{4}{5} \)
