number of candidates who answer ten questions is equal to the number of candidates who answer nine questions only. Find the probability that a candidate chosen at random from among these two sets of candidates will have selected questions 1, 2 and 3 if all the questions have the same chance of being selected. (the question had been answered in the same website but I couldn't understand the solving way..please help)
