Answer / Rajeev Kumar Malhavtra

In this scenario, there are three possible ways for the teacher to distribute the sheets: A's sheet can be given to B, C, or herself. Similarly, B's sheet can be given to A, C, or herself, and so on. Since each student has three options for whom their answer sheet could be given, there are a total of 3 * 3 * 3 = 27 possible combinations for the teacher to distribute the sheets incorrectly. However, since we're interested in the probability that no one gets their own answer sheet, there is only one correct way to distribute the sheets (A's sheet to B, B's sheet to C, and C's sheet to the teacher). So, the probability that no one gets their own answer sheet is 1 / 27 = 0.037 or 3.7% approximately.
