A class consists of 15 girls and 10 boys. Three students are to be randomly selected. Find the probability that one boy and two girls are picked.

  • A.1/50
  • B.3/25
  • C.21/46
  • D.25/122

Answer: C

Choose one boy from 10 and two girls from 15, out of all ways to choose 3 from 25.

\[ P = \frac{{}^{10}C_{1} \times {}^{15}C_{2}}{{}^{25}C_{3}} = \frac{10 \times 105}{2300} \]

\[ = \frac{1050}{2300} = \frac{21}{46} \]
