Hello Student,
Please find the answer to your question
Here the total number of coins is N + 7. Therefore the total number of ways of choosing 5 coins out of N + 7 is N + 7C5 Let E denotes the event that the sum of the values of the coins is less than one rupee and fifty paisa.
Then E’ denotes the event that the total value of the five coins is equal to or more than one rupee and fifty paisa.
NOTE THIS STEP:
The number of cases favorable to E’ is
= 2 C1 x 5 C4 x N C0 + 2 C2 x 5 C3 x N C0 + 2 C2 x 5 C2 x N C1
= 2 x 5 + 10 + 10 N = 10 (N + 2)
∴ P (E) = 10 (N + 2)/n + 1 C5
⇒ P (E) = 1 – P (E) = 1 – 10 (N + 2)/N + 7 C5
Thanks
