A box contains 9 tickets numbered 1 to 9 inclusive. If 3 tickets are drawn from the box one at a time, the probability that they are alternatively either {odd, even, odd} or {even, odd, even}is:

• $\frac{5}{17}$

• $\frac{4}{17}$

• $\frac{5}{16}$

If $\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{A}\right) = \frac{1}{12}, \mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{B}\right) = \frac{5}{12} \mathrm{and} \mathrm{P}\left(\frac{\mathrm{B}}{\mathrm{A}}\right) = \frac{1}{15}$, then P(A $\cup$ B) is equal to :

• $\frac{89}{180}$

• $\frac{90}{180}$

• $\frac{91}{180}$

• $\frac{92}{180}$
