प्रश्न
A committee of two persons is selected from two men and two women. What is the probability that the committee will have two men?
उत्तर
Total number of people = 2 + 2 = 4
Out of these four people, two can be selected in 4C2 = 6 ways. Two men can be selected in 2C2 way.
∴ P (two men) = \[\frac{^{2}{}{C}_2}{^{4}{}{C}_2} = \frac{1}{2 \times 3} = \frac{1}{6}\]
