(4/7)*(1/6) = 4/42 (choosing a person that has only 1 friend out of seven and choosing his friend out of 6)

(3/7)*(2/6) = 6/42 (choosing a person that has 2 friends out of seven and choosing his friend , he has two, out of 6)

4/42+6/42 = 10/42 = 5/21

but we need 1-(5/21) = 16/21

the answer is (E)
