Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct option is

C

319/420

Given, Odds in favour of four horses A,B,C,D are 1:3,1:4,1:5,1:6.

The probability of winning the horse A, P(A)=41

The probability of winning the horse B, P(B)=51

The probability of winning the horse C, P(C)=61

The probability of winning the horse D, P(D)=71

The probability that one of the horse winning the race =(P(A)+P(B)+P(C)+P(D))

=(41+51+61+71)

=840(210+168+140+120)=420319
