Step-by-Step Solution
Teams number . For exactly one brother, pick which brother is in — 2 ways — and fill the other two places from the 5 athletes who are not brothers, ways. That gives teams and a probability of 20/35 = 4/7. The value 1/7 = 5/35 covers BOTH brothers being chosen, from , since the third member is then any one of the other five. The value 2/7 = 10/35 covers NEITHER brother, from . The value 5/7 = 25/35 is 'at least one brother', which lumps the exactly-one and both cases together and so overshoots. The three cases partition the teams, and as a check 1/7 + 4/7 + 2/7 = 1.
Answer: A) 4/7
