  1. A \(\frac{1}{n!}\)
  2. B \(\frac{k!}{n!}\)
  3. C \((n-k)!n!\)

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{(n-k+1)!}{n!}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The number of ways of arranging n numbers is n! In each order obtained, we must now arrange the digits \(1,2, \ldots, \mathrm{k}\) as group and the \(\mathrm{n}-\mathrm{k}\) remaining digits. This can be done in \((\mathrm{n}-\mathrm{k}+1)\)! ways. Therefore, the probability for…
