If n men, among whom are A and B, stand in a row, what is the probability
Question:
If n men, among whom are A and B, stand in a row, what is the probability that there will be exactly r men between A and B? If they stand in a ring instead of in a row, show that the probability is independent of r and hence 1/(n-1). (In the circular arrangement consider only the arc leading from A to B in the positive direction.)
