Choose the correct choice from the following:  A) 1 / 4  B) 1 / 70  C) 3 / 14  D) 3 / 10  E) 11 / 14

Rationale: the fraction is nothing but the probability . . number to choose 3 out of 6 = 6 c 3 number to choose x and y and 2 from remaining 4 = 4 c 2 . . prob of a and b choosen = 4 c 2 / 6 c 3 = 3 / 10 answer : d
