Given:
A bag contains 4 strawberries and 8 grapes. what is the probability that both the fruits drawn from it are strawberries
To find:
The required answer
Solution:
Number of strawberries = 4
Number of grapes = 8
Total fruits = 8+4 = 12
Number of ways in finding 2 strawberries from 4= 4C2
Need to choose 2 out of 12 = 12C2
The probability will be:
4C2/12C2 = 6/66 = 1/11
Hence, the answer is an option (b) 1/11.
