उत्तर

Number of tickets that are not getting a prize

= 10000 – 10

= 9990

∵ Total number of tickets = 10000

Number of ways of getting 2 tickets out of 9990 without prize = `""^9990C_2`

There are 10000 tickets in total.

Number of ways of getting 2 tickets out of them = `""^10000C_2`

Probability of getting two tickets with no prize = `(""^9990C_2)/(""^10000C_2)`.
