The correct answer is:
$\frac{2}{7}$
$\frac{2}{7}$
$\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{S})={ }^9 \mathrm{C}_3$
$\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{E})={ }^3 \mathrm{C}_1 \times{ }^4 \mathrm{C}_1 \times{ }^2 \mathrm{C}_1$
Probability $=\frac{3 \times 4 \times 2}{{ }^9 \mathrm{C}_3}=\frac{24 \times 3 !}{9 !} \times 6 !=\frac{24 \times 6}{9 \times 8 \times 7}=\frac{2}{7}$
$\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{E})={ }^3 \mathrm{C}_1 \times{ }^4 \mathrm{C}_1 \times{ }^2 \mathrm{C}_1$
Probability $=\frac{3 \times 4 \times 2}{{ }^9 \mathrm{C}_3}=\frac{24 \times 3 !}{9 !} \times 6 !=\frac{24 \times 6}{9 \times 8 \times 7}=\frac{2}{7}$
