1)Probability of putting first letter in correct envelope: 1/4

Probability of putting second letter in wrong envelope: 2/3

Probability of putting third letter in wrong envelope: 1/2

Probability of putting last letter in wrong envelope: 1/1

Multiply all those together and you get 1/12. We have four envelopes, so (1/12)*4 = 1/3.

2. the total number of triangles having no side common with polygon = nc3(n-4) c1 - n
