Solution

The correct option is C 2330

The probability that the problem is solved by 1st, 2nd and 3rd student is 13,25,512 respectively.

The probability that problem is not solved by 1st student =113=23

The probability that problem is not solved by 2nd student =125=35

The probability that problem is not solved by 3rd student =1512=712

Thus, the probability that no one will solve the problem =23×35×712=730

Thus, the probability that problem is solved =1730=2330
