Selection of 3 no.'s from {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}
No.of combinations to be made=10C3
Selection of 3 no.'s having 3 as minimum should be selected from the set {3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10} for which one number is fixed i.e.,3
No.of combinations to be made=7C2
selection of 3 no.'s having 7 as maximum should be selected from the set {1,2,3,4,5,6,7} for which one number is fixed i.e.,7
No.of combinations to be made=6C2
selection of 3 no.'s having 7 as maximum  and 3 as minimum should be selected from the set {3,4,5,6,7} for which two numbers fixed i.e.,3 and 7
No.of combinations to be made=3C1
Therefore the probability that the minimum of the chosen numbers is 3 or their maximum is 7 is=(7C2+6C23C110C3)
=(21+153)120=33120=1140
