Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{35}{76}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} \therefore \text { Required probability } & =\frac{{ }^{15} C_2 \times{ }^5 C_1}{{ }^{20} C_3} \\ & =\frac{15 \times 7 \times 5}{\frac{20 \times 19 \times 18}{3 \times 2}} \\ & =\frac{7 \times 25}{20 \times 19}=\frac{35}{76}\end{aligned}\)
