Correct Answer - C Let E= event when each American man is seated adjacent to his **** and A=event when Indian man is seated adjacent to his **** Now , n(A∩E)=(4!)×(2!)5 Even when each American man is seated adjacent to his ****. Again , n(E)=(5!)×(2!)4 ∴P( A E )= n(A∩E) n(E) = (4!)×(2!)5 (5!)×(2!)4 = 2 5 Alternate solution Fixing four American couples and one Indian man in between any two couples , we have 5 different ways in which his **** can be seated , of which 2 cases are favourable. ∴ Required probability = 2 5
