Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Solution:

Total number of fruits = 7. Number of fruits drawn = 3.

  • Total number of ways to choose 3 fruits = C(7,3) = 35.

  • Number of ways to get all apples = C(3,3) = 1.

  • Number of ways to get all bananas = C(4,3) = 4.

  • Total favorable ways = 1 + 4 = 5.

  • Probability = 5/35 = 1/7.
