    The given case is an example of permutation problem because the order is important given that you should like the first two songs. The sample space is calculated through the equation,

    15P2 = 210

    Then, there are 3 songs that you liked, the probability of picking 2 out of them is,

    3P2 = 6

    Dividing the latter by the earlier result will give us an answer of 1/35.
