Here, sample space will contain 4! ways. S= {ABCD,ACBD,ABDC,ADBC,ACDB,ADCB, BACD,BADC,BCAD,BCDA,BDAC,BDCA, CABD,CADB,CBAD,CBDA,CDAB,CDBA, DABC,DACB,DBAC,DBCA,DCAB,DCBA} So, n(s)=24 (i)Number of ways Veena travels A before B =12 ∴ Probability of her traveling A before B= 12/24 = 1/2 (ii) Number of ways Veena travels A before B and B before C= 4 :. Probability of her traveling A before B and B before C= 4/24 = 1/6 (iii)Number of ways Veena travels A first and B last= 2 :. Probability of her traveling A first and B last = 2/24 = 1/12 (iv)Number of ways Veena travels A either first or second = 12 :. Probability of her traveling A either first or second= 12/24 = 1/2 (v)Number of ways Veena travels A just before B = 6 :. Probability of her traveling A just before B = 6/24 = 1/4
