Correct Answer - D
The total number of ways of choosing 11 players out of 15 is `.^(15)C_(11)`. A team of 11 players containing at least 3 bowlers can be chosen in the following mutually exclusive ways:
(I) Three bowlers out of 5 bowlers and 8 other players out of the remaining 10 players.
(II) Four bowlers out of 5 bowlers and 7 other players out of the remaining 10 players.
(III) Five bowlers out of 5 bowlers and 6 other players out of So, required probability is
P(I) + P(II) + P(III)
`=(.^(5)C_(3) xx .^(10)C_(8))/(.^(15)C_(11)) + (.^(5)C_(4) xx .^(10)C_(7))/(.^(15)C_(11)) + (.^(5)C_(5) xx .^(10)C_(6))/(.^(15)C_(11))`
= `(1260)/(1365) = (12)/(13)`
