probability that they belong to different institutions =
1-probability thatbelong to same institution
no of ways so that they belong to same institutions =5
total no of ways = 84
probability thatbelong to same institution = 5/84
probability that they belong to different institutions =
1- 5/84 = 79/84
attaching solution
(answer would have been different if all three are from different institution in that question no of ways would have been 24 & answer : 24/84 = 2/7)
