Question is wrong one..this condition is not possible for the question. You have changed question .I will send the real question. question is In a room filled with 7 people, 4 people have exactly 1 sibling in the room and 3 people have exactly 2 siblings in the room. If two individuals are selected from the room at random, what is the probability that those two individuals are NOT siblings
Selection of 2 out of 7 people=7c2=21
As per question 1-2 , 3-4 are those 4 people with one sibling and 5-6-7 are people with 2 siblings.
Now finding selection of 2 siblings==
=(2c2+2c2+3c2)÷(7c2)=(1+1+3)÷21
=(5÷21)
But we need selection of 2 those who are not siblings.
So probability of negative=1-probability of positive =1-(5÷21)=(21-5)÷21=(16÷21)
