(B) The total number of ways to choose $2$ integers from $20$ consecutive integers is given by ${}^{20}C_2 = \frac{20 	imes 19}{2} = 190$.The sum of two numbers is odd if and only if one number is even and the other is odd.In any set of $20$ consecutive integers,there are exactly $10$ even numbers and $10$ odd numbers.The number of ways to choose one even number and one odd number is ${}^{10}C_1 	imes {}^{10}C_1 = 10 	imes 10 = 100$.Therefore,the required probability is $P = \frac{100}{190} = \frac{10}{19}$.

If out of $20$ consecutive whole numbers two are chosen at random,then the probability that their sum is odd,is
