    B.

    18.72

    C.

    16.72

    D.

    14.72

    Correct option is D

    Total persons = 37 men + 13 women
    = 50

    Total ways to select 3 persons
    = C(50,3)
    = 19600

    Ways to select 2 women and 1 man
    = C(13,2) × C(37,1)

    = 78 × 37
    = 2886

    Probability
    = 2886 / 19600
    ≈ 0.1472
