Here's the Solution to this Question

Americans: A = 4

Germans: G = 2

Total = 6

3 out of 6 can be selected in ⁶C₃ = 20 Ways

Germans can be 0 , 1 or 2

The number of Germans can not be 3 because they are only 2 in number.

three consuls were selected

G = 0  => ⁴C₃ x ²C₀ = 4 Ways

G = 1  => ⁴C₂ x ²C₁ = 12 Ways

G = 2  => ⁴C₁ x ²C₂ = 4 Ways 

G    P (G)          

0    {4\over20} =0.2  

1     {12\over20} =0.6      

2    {4\over20} =0.2
