A

$\left( \begin{array}{l}38\\\,3\end{array} \right)$

B

$\left( \begin{array}{l}37\\\,2\end{array} \right)$

C

$\frac{{\left( \begin{array}{l}37\\{\rm{ }}2\end{array} \right)}}{{\left( \begin{array}{l}38\\{\rm{ }}3\end{array} \right)}}$.

D

$\frac{{666}}{{8436}}$

Solution

(c) Required probability $ = \frac{{^{37}{C_2}}}{{^{38}{C_3}}} = \frac{{\left( \begin{array}{l}37\\{\rm{ }}2\end{array} \right)}}{{\left( \begin{array}{l}38\\{\rm{ }}3\end{array} \right)}}$.
