Doubt in this question

Hey @gregmat

I have doubt in this question as we are arranging the letters and you mentioned order is not important . suppose, we are choosing minimum 15 then there might be two possibility for which the question holds true. i.e AB can also be placed as BA which gives 2 possibility and thus 2/105 which is not less than 1 percent.

correct me if I am wrong. Thanks

If you treat AB and BA as two different pairs, then the base of 2/105 mentioned by you is actually 105 times 2 as A(2, 15) = 15*14 = 210 = 105 * 2. Then the answer will still be 2/210 = 1/105

Thank you buddy!

u r welcome :slight_smile:

hey can we use 0 as a integer for Y?
0 qualifies as a integer, right?

No you can not.

Please look at the word “positive” right after the “different” :smiley:

But google says, 0 is a positive integer.

With no offense, have you really googled it?
