Why Can't We Be Friends

Level pending

Ten people a n a_n , with shirts numbered from n = 1 n = 1 to 10 10 are in a meeting room. If the probability that a m a_m and a n a_n become friends is

m + m n + m 110 \frac{m+mn+m}{110}

the probability that, by choosing two random people, they become friends, can be written as a b \frac{a}{b} , where a a and b b are positive coprime numbers. Evaluate a + b a+b .


The answer is 41.
