Two integers \(r\) and \(s\) are drawn one at a time without replacement from the set \(\{1,2, \ldots ., n\}\). Then \(P(r \leq k / s \leq k)=\)

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{\mathrm{k}-1}{\mathrm{n}-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hint: \(\mathrm{p}(\mathrm{r} \leq \mathrm{k} / \mathrm{s} \leq \mathrm{k})=\frac{\mathrm{p}(\mathrm{r} \leq \mathrm{k} \cap \mathrm{s} \leq \mathrm{k})}{\mathrm{p}(\mathrm{s} \leq \mathrm{k})}\) Now, \(\mathrm{p}(\mathrm{s} \leq \mathrm{k})=\frac{\mathrm{k}}{\mathrm{n}}\)…
