Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{9}{14}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Case I When smaller of the two numbers is 1. Then, total number of cases \[ =1 \times{ }^7 C_1=7 \] Case II When smaller of two numbers is 2 . Then, total number of cases \[ =1 \times{ }^6 C_1=6 \] Case III When smaller of two numbers is 3 . Then, total number of cases…
