The correct answer is: 120

Total cases will be  5C4×4!

Now favourable cases for 2fb=fc+fd-fa will be,

Case (I) if fb=1 then fc, fd, fa can take the value  3,4,5 & 4,3,5 respectively

Case (II) if fb=2 then fc, fd, fa can take value  3,5,4 & 5,3,4 respectively

Case (III) if fb=3 then fc, fd, fa can take value 2,5,1 & 5,2,1 respectively

So total favourable case will be 6

So probability=favourable casestotal outcomes=65×4!=120
