Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Mohan can get one prize, two prizes or three prizes and his chance of failure means he gets no prize.
Number of total ways $ ={}^{12}C_3=220 $
Favourable number of ways to be failure $ ={}^{9}C_6=84 $
Hence required probability $ =1-\frac{84}{220}=\frac{34}{55}. $
