First, we need to calculate the total number of ways to select two fruits out of the total of 20 fruits in the basket:

Total number of ways = 20C2 = (20*19)/(2*1) = 190

Next, we need to calculate the number of ways to select an apple and a banana:

Number of ways = (7C1)*(5C1) = (7*5) = 35

Finally, we can calculate the probability of selecting an apple and a banana:

Probability = Number of ways / Total number of ways = 35 / 190 = 7/38

So, the probability of selecting an apple and a banana in fraction form to the lowest term is 7/38.
