$$\mathrm{i}\mathrm{got}\mathrm{n}\left(\mathrm{S}\right)=\frac{90!}{30!.30!.30!}$$$$\mathrm{n}\left(\mathrm{A}\right)=3\times {\mathrm{C}}_{28}^{88}\times {\mathrm{C}}_{30}^{60}\times {\mathrm{C}}_{30}^{30}=3\times \frac{88!}{28!.60!}\times \frac{60!}{30!.30!}$$$$\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{A}\right)=\frac{3\times \frac{88!}{28!.}\times 30!}{90!}=\frac{3\times 30\times 29}{90\times 89}$$$$=\frac{29}{89}$$$$$$

$$Joeisintheclassx$$$$P(Jane\in x)=\frac{30-1}{90-1}=\frac{29}{89}$$$$$$
