Correct Answer - C
The probabilities of solving the question by these three students are `1//3,2//7and 3//8,` respectively. Therefore,
`P(A)=(1)/(3),P(B)=2/7,P(C)=3/8`
Then probability of question solved by only one student is `P((A barBbarCor barABbarCorbarAbarBC))`
`=P(A)P(barB)P(barC)+P(barA)P(B)P(barC)+P(barA)P(barB)P(C)`
`=P(A)P(barB)P(barC)+P(barA)P(B)P(barC)+P(barA)P(barB)P(C)`
`=1/3xx5/7xx5/8xx2/3xx2/7xx5/8+2/3xx5/7xx3/8`
`=(25+20+30)/(168)=25/56`
