Q: What is the probability that the cards drawn contains 1 red card, 1 purple card and 1 yellow card?

Probability of getting 1 red card, 1 purple card and 1 yellow card = 4C1 × 5C1 × 3C1 = 4 × 5 × 3 = 60 Probability of drawing three cards = 12C3 = 220 &there4; Required answer = 60/220 = 3/11

A 3/11

B 7/44
