Detailed Solution

Let A and B denote the following events: 

      A : minimum of the chosen number is 3

      B : maximum of the chosen number is 7

We have

             P(A)=P (choosing 3 and two other numbers from 4 to 10

                     = 7C2 10C3=7×62×3×210×9×8=740

            P(B)=P (choosing 7 and two other numbers from 1 to 6

                    = 6C2 10C3=6×52×3×210×9×8=18  

   P(AB)=P( choosing 3 and 7 and one other number from 4 to 6).

                   =3 10C3=3×3×210×9×8=140.

Now,
             P(AB)=P(A)+P(B)P(AB)                =740+18140=1140
