A bag contains 21 toys numbered 1 to 21 . A toy is drawn and then another toy is drawn without replacement. The probability that both toys will show even numbers is
  1. $\frac{5}{21}$
  2. $\frac{3}{14}$
  3. $\frac{11}{42}$
  4. $\frac{4}{21}$

Solution

Total number of toys numbered from 1 to 21 . $ \mathrm{P} \text { (two toys will show even numbers) }==\frac{{ }^{10} \mathrm{c}_2}{{ }^{21} \mathrm{c}_2} $ The total number of even numbers between 1 to 21 is 10. $ \text { So, }=\frac{{ }^{10} \mathrm{~L}_2}{{ }^{21} \mathrm{~L}_2}=\frac{10 \times 9}{21 \times 20}=\frac{8}{14} \text {. } $
