A.

1140

(a) Total number of possible outcomes =10C3

Let A be the event that minimum of chosen number is 3 and B be the event that maximum of chosen number is 7 Then, n(A) = Number of ways of choosing remaining two numbers from the set{4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} = 6c= 21 Similarly, n(B) = Number of ways of choosing remaining two numbers from the set{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} = 6c= 15

and n(A  B) = Number of ways of choosing remaining one number from the set {4, 5, 6} = 3c1 = 3

Thus, required probability

21 + 15 - 3120 = 33120 = 1140
