3 blocks are chosen randomly on a chessboard. What is the probability that they are in the same dia..

Answer / guest

There are total of 64 blocks on a chessboard. So 3 blocks
can be chosen out of 64 in 64C3 ways.

So the sample space is = 41664

There are 2 diagonal on chessboard each one having 8 blocks.
Consider one of them.

3 blocks out of 8 blocks in diagonal can be chosen in 8C3 ways.

But there are 2 such diagonals, hence favourables = 2 * 8C3
= 2 * 56 = 112

The require probability is

= 112 / 41664

= 1 / 372

= 0.002688

The son of a rich bullion merchant left home on the death of his father. All he had with him was a gold chain that consisted of 138 links. He rented a place in the city center with a shop at the lower level and an apartment at the upper level. He was required to pay every week one link of the gold chain as rent for the place. The landlady told him that she wanted one link of the gold chain at the end of one week, two gold links at the end of two weeks, three gold links at the end of three weeks and so on.
