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

a
NCM×N!MN
b
NCM×M!NM
c
1− NCM×M!MN
d
1− NCM×N!NM

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Since lines are more than telegrams,  NCM are those lines where telegrams will be sent.So, number of favourable cases =NCM×M!Total number of cases = NM          [As first telegram can go in any one of n lines]So, required probability= NCM×M!NM
