$A$ and $B$ each select one number at random from the distinct numbers $1, 2, 3, \ldots, n$. The probability that the number selected by $A$ is less than the number selected by $B$ is $\frac{1009}{2019}$. The probability that the number selected by $B$ is the number immediately next to the number selected by $A$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{2018}{2019}$
  • B
    $\frac{2018}{(2019)^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{2000}{2019}$
  • D
    $\frac{2000}{(2019)^2}$

Three distinct numbers are selected randomly from the set $\{1, 2, 3, \ldots, 40\}$. If the probability that the selected numbers are in an increasing $G.P.$ is $\frac{m}{n}$,where $\operatorname{gcd}(m, n) = 1$,then $m + n$ is equal to . . . . . . .

Of the three independent events $E_1, E_2$ and $E_3$,the probability that only $E_1$ occurs is $\alpha$,only $E_2$ occurs is $\beta$ and only $E_3$ occurs is $\gamma$. Let the probability $p$ that none of events $E_1, E_2$ or $E_3$ occurs satisfy the equations $(\alpha - 2\beta)p = \alpha\beta$ and $(\beta - 3\gamma)p = 2\beta\gamma$. All the given probabilities are assumed to lie in the interval $(0, 1)$. Then $\frac{\text{Probability of occurrence of } E_1}{\text{Probability of occurrence of } E_3} = $

Let $B_{i} (i=1, 2, 3)$ be three independent events in a sample space. The probability that only $B_{1}$ occurs is $\alpha$,only $B_{2}$ occurs is $\beta$,and only $B_{3}$ occurs is $\gamma$. Let $p$ be the probability that none of the events $B_{i}$ occurs,and these $4$ probabilities satisfy the equations $(\alpha - 2\beta)p = \alpha\beta$ and $(\beta - 3\gamma)p = 2\beta\gamma$ (All the probabilities are assumed to lie in the interval $(0, 1)$). Then $\frac{P(B_{1})}{P(B_{3})}$ is equal to ..........
