x1, x2, x3, ...... x50 are fifty numbers such that xr < xr + 1 for
r = 1, 2, 3, ...., 49 . Five numbers out of these are picked up at random. The probability that the five numbers have x20 as the middle number is
  1. \(\frac{{ }^{20} \mathrm{C}_{2} \times{ }^{30} \mathrm{C}_{2}}{{ }^{50} \mathrm{C}_{2}}\)
  2. \(\frac{{ }^{30} \mathrm{C}_{2} \times{ }^{19} \mathrm{C}_{2}}{{ }^{50} \mathrm{C}_{5}}\)
  3. \(\frac{{ }^{19} \mathrm{C}_{2} \times{ }^{31} \mathrm{C}_{3}}{{ }^{50} \mathrm{C}_{5}}\)
  4. none the these
