Answer

Option A is correct.

(1/13824)

Explanation

To calculate the total probability of winning the computer, we will calculate the probability of the numbers in each set matching the numbers in the final prize drawing.

Probability of getting the number right in one set = (1/24)

Probability of getting the number right in the three sets

= (1/24) × (1/24) × (1/24)

= (1/13824)

Hope this Helps!!!
