  1. A \(\frac{34}{55}\)
  2. B \(\frac{48}{55}\)
  3. C \(\frac{21}{55}\)
  4. D \(\frac{42}{55}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{48}{55}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Case 1: When No rotten apple is drawn then, No. of ways \(={ }^9 \mathrm{C}_3=84\) Case 2: When 1 rotten apple is drawn then, No. of ways \(={ }^9 \mathrm{C}_2 \times{ }^3 \mathrm{C}_1=\frac{9 \times 8 \times 3}{2}=12 \times 9=108\) Total no of ways of drawing 3 apples…
