Answer:

The probability that a man buys the winning ticket is 107/200

Explanation:

78 men buy tickets, 93 women buy tickets. If the rest of the tickets are given to men, there are 200-93-78, or 29 tickets left, which go to men. 78 + 29 = 107 men who have tickets.

The probability that a man buys the winning ticket is

number of men with tickets / number of tickets, or

107 / 200.
