Ans is (c) 3/5
Total ways of sitting= !5=120
Ways in which 2 students sit together= !4*!2=48 (take 2 students as 1 single unit so 5-1=4 and also these 2 students can arrange themselves in !2 ways)
Therefore,P(2 students sit together) =48/120
And so P(2 students dont sit together)=1-48/12₩=72/120=18/30=6/10=3/5
