A special lottery is to be held to select a student who will live in the only deluxe room in a hostel. There are 100 Year-III, 150 Year-II and 200 Year-I students who applied. Each Year-III's name is placed in the lottery 3 times; each Year-II's name, 2 times and Year-I's name, 1 time. What is the probability that a Year-III's name will be chosen?
A$\frac18$
B$\frac28$
C$\frac38$
D$\frac12$

C$\frac38$
Total names in the lottery
= 3 × 100 + 2 × 150 + 200 = 800
Number of Year-III's names = 3 × 100 = 300
Required probability $=\frac{300}{800}=\frac38$
