Fifteen football players of a club-team are given 15 T-shirts with their names written on the backside. If the players pick up the T-shirts randomly, then the probability that at least 3 players pick the correct T-shirt is
  1. 524
  2. 215
  3. 16
  4. 536

Solution

Given,

Fifteen football players of a club-team are given 15 T-shirts with their names written on the backside

So, total sample space will be 15!

Now for at least 3 players pick the correct T-shirt, 

Required probability=1-D15+C115·D14+C215D1315!

Where Dn is de-arrangement and Dnn!e where e2.73

Taking D15 as 15 ! eD(14) as 14!e and D(13) as 13!e

We get , 1-15!e+15·14!e+15×142×13!e15!

=1-1e+1e+12e=1-52e.08

Note- This question was bonus as NTA as calculated the answer as C315×12!15!=16, they have not considered the repetation cases.
