A team of 11 players containing at least 3 bowlers can be chosen in the following mutually exclusive ways:(I) Three bowlers out of 5 bowlers and 8 other players out of the remaining 10 players.(II) Four bowlers out of 5 bowlers and 7 other players out of the remaining 10 players.(III) Five bowlers out of 5 bowlers and 6 other players out of the remaining 10 players.So, required probability isP(I) + P(II) + P(III)= 5C3×10C8 15C11+ 5C4×10C7 15C11+ 5C5×10C6 15C11=12601365=1213
