Two customers shyam and ekta are visiting a particular shop in the sam...
The total number of days from Tuesday to Saturday = 5
Hence, both of them can reach the shop in 5 ways.
So, total number of outcomes = 5 � 5 = 25 ways
They can reach on the same day in 5 ways, i.e.
(Tuesday, Tuesday) ; (Wednesday, Wednesday) ; (Thursday, Thursday) ; (Friday, Friday) ; (Saturday, Saturday)
1) Probability of reaching the same day -
= 5/25
= 1/5
They can reach on consecutive days in following 8 ways :
(Tuesday, Wednesday) ; (Wednesday, Tuesday) ; (Wednesday, Thursday) ; (Thursday, Wednesday) ; (Thursday, Friday) ; (Friday, Thursday) ; (Friday, Saturday) ; (Saturday, Friday)
2) Probability of reaching on consecutive days -
= 8/25_
3) Probability of reaching on different days -
As, Probability of reaching on same days = 1/5
Hence, probability of reaching on different days = 1 - 1/5
= 4/5 Answer.
