A) 14/33 B) 14/55
C) 12/55 D) 13/33

Let S be the sample space.

Then, n(s)= Number of ways of picking 2 chairs out of 12

12×11/2×66

Let n(E) = number of events of selecting 2 chairs for selecting no white chairs.

=> 8C8×7/2×28

Therefore required probability = 28/66 = 14/33.

Let age of retirement = S
so according to the given condition 25000(x-20)
=10000 x 3 + 12000 + 14000 + 16000 + 18000 + 20000 + 22000 + 24000 + 26000 + 28000 + 30000 + 30000(S-33)
= 30000 + 210000 + 30000S-990000
= 30000S - 750000
or 25000S - 500000 = 30000x - 750000
or 5000x = 250000
or S = 50 yrs.
