A. 8/336
B. 1/8
C. 6/336
D. 1/336

Answer 1

It's actually C. 6/336

Answer 2

Answer: $\frac{6}{336}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The Number of different prizes = 3

The number of people entered the drawing room = 8

The number of ways to select for 3 prizes, such that  you win first prize and your mom wins second prize = You × Mom × Rest of people

$1\times1\times(8-2)=1\times6=6$

The total number of ways to award the prizes = 336

Therefore, the probability that you win first prize and your mom wins second prize=$\frac{6}{336}$
