Dec 13, 2015 at 11:39 comment added Mithlesh Upadhyay There is typo in option $(3)$ which should be $\displaystyle 1-( \frac{365\cdot364 \cdots(365-r+1)}{365^r} +{r\choose 2}\cdot \frac{365\cdot364\cdot363 \cdots (364-(r-2) +1)}{364^{r-2}})$, it seems correct. AFAIK : at least three means exactly three or more than three persons have birthday on same day.
Dec 13, 2015 at 11:26 comment added Pieter21 Should it be one of the 4 answers you gave?
Dec 13, 2015 at 11:20 comment added Pieter21 Expanded part 2. Part 3. did not need to expand, because it is just the rest of the universe.

Dec 13, 2015 at 11:11 comment added Mithlesh Upadhyay How you are using inclusion-exclusion here? Part 2 and 3 need to expand.
Dec 13, 2015 at 11:04 comment added Pieter21 Can you tell which part of the answer is not clear? (While I'll expand on the answer a bit.)
Dec 13, 2015 at 8:01 comment added Mithlesh Upadhyay Can you explain ?
