(D) Let the number of daughters each friend has be $x$.Total number of daughters = $x + x = 2x$.We need to select $3$ tickets out of $2x$ daughters. The total number of ways to distribute $3$ tickets is ${}^{2x}C_3$.The number of ways to select $3$ tickets such that all go to the daughters of $A$ is ${}^xC_3$.The probability is given by $\frac{{}^xC_3}{{}^{2x}C_3} = \frac{1}{20}$.Expanding the combinations: $\frac{x(x-1)(x-2)}{3!} / \frac{2x(2x-1)(2x-2)}{3!} = \frac{1}{20}$.$\frac{x(x-1)(x-2)}{2x(2x-1)2(x-1)} = \frac{1}{20}$.$\frac{x-2}{4(2x-1)} = \frac{1}{20}$.$20(x-2) = 4(2x-1)$.$5(x-2) = 2x-1$.$5x - 10 = 2x - 1$.$3x = 9$.$x = 3$.

Two friends $A$ and $B$ have an equal number of daughters. There are three cinema tickets which are to be distributed among the daughters of $A$ and $B$. The probability that all the tickets go to the daughters of $A$ is $1/20$. The number of daughters each of them has is:
