1. ramesh will buy the selected shirt?
2.kewal will buy the selected shirt?

Answer 1

This is the appropriate answer for your question

Answer 2

88 SHIRTS ARE GOOD OUT OF 100 SHIRTS.
SO, THE PROBABILITY OF RAMESH = 88/100= 22/25
KEWAL REJECTS ONLY THOSE SHIRTS WITH MAJOR DEFECTS... SO CAN BUY SHIRTS WITH MINOR DEFECTS.
SO, THE PROBABILITY OF KEWAL = 88+8/100= 96/100
= 24/25
