Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{11}{40}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, set \(S=\{1,2, \ldots \ldots, 10\}\) Here, three numbers are drawn at random from the given set. So, total possible outcomes, \(n={ }^{10} C_3=120\) Let \(\mathrm{A}\) be the event that minimum of chosen number is 3 .…
