We know that, \mathrm{P= n!/x!\left ( n-x \right )!p^{x}q^{n-x}}

where, n = total number of events = 3, x = number of events of dwarf plants = 2
p = probability of dwarf plants = 1/4, q = probability of tall plants = 3/4

Probability that two would be dwarf and one would be tall \mathrm{= p= !3/!2\, !3-2 \times \left ( 1/4 \right )^{2}\times \left ( 3/4 \right )^{3-2}= 3\times 2 \times 1/2 \times 1 \times 1/16\times 3/4= 9/64 }

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
