Previous Year Question (PYQs)



From the first $100$ natural numbers, two numbers first $a$ and then $b$ are selected randomly without replacement. If the probability that $a - b \ge 10$ is $\frac{m}{n}$, $\gcd(m,n)=1$, then $m+n$ is equal to ______.





Solution

$a - b \ge 10$

Total cases $= 100 \times 99$

Favourable cases $= 1 + 2 + 3 + \cdots + 90$

Required probability

$= \dfrac{1 + 2 + \cdots + 90}{100 \times 99}$

$= \dfrac{90\cdot 91}{2 \cdot 100 \cdot 99}$

$= \dfrac{91}{220}$

$\Rightarrow m+n = 91 + 220 = 311$
