Solution

The correct option is D $15 / 38$
Total number of cards =20
Total ways to draw 3 cards $=^{20} C_{3}$
To write $J E E$ , first card should be drawn from 10 J printed cards and 2 cards are to be drawn from 10 E printed cards
So, number of favourable cases $=^{10} C_{1} \times^{10} C_{2}$
Required probability $= \frac{^{10} C_{1} \times^{10} C_{2}}{^{20} C_{3}}$

A box is selected randomly, the probability of selection of box $A_{i}$ is $\frac{i}{\sum i}$ and then a card is drawn. Let $E_{i}$ represents the event that a card with number 'i' is drawn.
