Detailed Solution

S={1,2,,20}

Total no. of subsets =220

We have, 1+2++20=20(21)2=210

Sum of elements will be 203 if we would not choose 7 or elements which are giving sum 7.

Elements giving sum 7 are (1, 6), (2, 5), (3, 4), (1, 2, 4) Thus, a subset will be 'nice' if we didn't choose these 5 outcomes.

  Required probability (subset choosen is 'nice') =5220
