2 out of 30 people can be selected in 30C2 ways.
only 1 way of selecting gautam, only way 1 way of selecting gautam second=only one way of going to kolkata.
so probability of gautam going to kolkata: 1*1/30C2

hence, B

brother..what confused me is goutham shouldnot be selected first and should be selected only second...so i was thinking about conditional probability and all.

i mean among the different permutations,the permutations which has goutham as the second option etc..

it was so confusing.I am thinking too much at times :oops:

2 can be selected from 30 in 30C2 ways.
if gautam has to be selected for only kolkata, then he can occupy this place in only 1 way.
so, probability of gautam going to kolkata = 1/ 30C2
