In a party there are 5 couples. Out of them 5 people are chosen at random. Find the probability that there are at the least two couples ?

Correct Answer: 5/21

Explanation:

Number of ways of (selecting at least two couples among five people selected) = (⁵C₂ x ⁶C₁)


As remaining person can be any one among three couples left.


Required probability = (⁵C₂ x ⁶C₁)/¹⁰C₅
= (10 x 6)/252 = 5/21
