    D 307/2024 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total number of books = 10 + 7 + 7 = 24 Let S be the sample space. Then, n(S) = number of ways of drawing 3 books out of 24 = 24C3 = `(24 xx 23 xx 22)/ (3 xx 2 xx 1)` = 3036 Let E= event of drawing no green books n(E) = 17C3 = `(17 xx 16 xx 15)/(3 xx 2 xx 1)` = 680 `:.` P(E) = `(n(E))/(n(S))` = `680/3036` = `170/759`
