Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{32}{85}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total number ways we can choose three integers from 20 integers \(={ }^{20} C_3\) (I) We will get all three integers are multiple of three \((3,6,9,12,15,18)={ }^6 C_3\) (II) We will get sum divisible by 3, if all three numbers when divided by 3 givens remainder of…
