MCQ
Two digits are selected randomly from the set $\{1, 2,3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8\}$ without replacement one by one. The probability that minimum of the two digits is less than $5$ is
  • A
    $\frac {3}{14}$
  • $\frac {11}{14}$
  • C
    $\frac {5}{14}$
  • D
    $\frac {9}{14}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac {11}{14}$
b
Required probability
$= 1 -$ (probability that both the digit are greater than $5$)

$ = 1 - \frac{{{}^4{C_2}}}{{{}^8{C_2}}} = \frac{{11}}{{14}}$
