hmmm................ 1/3! =1/6 ?? (i am highly unsure... actually dunno probability... but stilll .......... [3])
probability of A getting the right letter is 1/3
then of the remaining 2 letters B gettnig the right is 1/2
C will automatically get the right one.
Hence probability is 1/3*1/2=1/6
we can also tell it like....
3 letter can be posted in 3! ways.
only one is correct among them
so 1/3! = 1/6.
skygirl's solution is more logical in terms of probability... well, abhirup has also done a gud job... nyc... [1]
