    A 1/44 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 7/110 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 9/110 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3/25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total possible result = 12C3 = 220 Total number of event n(E) = 4C3 + 5C3 = 4 + 10 = 14 Required probability =`(n(E))/(n(S))` ` ` =`14/220` =`7/110`
