A local post office is to send M telegrams which are distributed at random over N communication channels, (N > M). Each telegram is sent over any channel with equal probability. Chance that not more than one telegram will be sent over each channel is
Since lines are more than telegrams, are those lines where telegrams will be sent.
So, number of favourable cases
Total number of cases = NM [As first telegram can go in any one of n lines]
So, required probability
