Answer:

The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of people who entered the drawing = 10

Number of prizes = 3

Number of ways to award the prize = 720 ways

The total number of ways that 3 prizes can be awarded to the 10 people can be determined as:

10*9*8 = 720

The total number of ways in which I win the first prize and my mom wins the second prize would be 1*1*8 = 8

Thus the probability that i win the first prize and my mom wins the second prize would be 8/720 ....
