Solution

The correct option is B


It is given that Ram is alloted a locker in the 235th shelf.

Now Arjun also has to get a locker in the same shelf. There are 299 shelves left which are not taken by Ram.

Number of favourable outcomes = The number of shelves that Arjun got allotted = 1

Total number of outcomes = 300

P(Arjun being alloted a locker on the same shelf as Ram) = 1300
