A. 10
Step-by-step solution
aligned & x+y=24, x, y N & A M>G M x y 144 & x y 108 aligned Favorable pairs of (x, y) are aligned & (13,11),(12,12),(14,10),(15,9),(16,8), & (17,7),(18,6),(6,18),(7,17),(8,16),(9,15), & (10,14),(11,13) aligned i.e. 13 cases Total choices for x + y =24 is 23 aligned & Probability = 13 23 = m n & n-m=10 aligned
