total no. of coins in 1st purse = 4+ 3 = 7.
total no. o coins in 2nd purse = 6+ 2 = 8
no. of silver coins in both = 3+ 2 = 5
no. of copper coins in both = 4+ 6 + 10
probability of a copper coin will be the total no. of copper coin/ total no. of coins in all.
= 10 / 15
= 2/3
total no. o coins in 2nd purse = 6+ 2 = 8
no. of silver coins in both = 3+ 2 = 5
no. of copper coins in both = 4+ 6 + 10
probability of a copper coin will be the total no. of copper coin/ total no. of coins in all.
= 10 / 15
