    Question

    A set of cards are numbered from 1 to 50. If two cards are selected at random, what is the probability that the numbers in the two cards are odd?

    A.

    12/49

    B.

    12/25

    C.

    23/50

    D.

    24/49

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    The total number of cards is 50. The task is to find the probability that the two selected cards have odd numbers.
    Solution:
    Since the cards are numbered from 1 to 50, half of them are odd.
    Number of cards having odd numbers = 50/2 = 25
    Favorable outcomes =(252)\binom{25}{2}​ = 25 * 24 / 2 = 300
    Total outcomes = (502)\binom{50}{2}​ = 50 * 49 / 2 = 1225
    Required probability = 300 / 1225 = 12/49
    Thus, the required probability is 12/49.
