Question

There are 50 mangoes in a basket, 20 of which are unripe. Another basket contains 40 mangoes, with 15 unripe. If we take one mango from each basket, what is the probability of both being unripe?

• A. 1/4
• B. 3/20
• C. 7/20
• D. 3/10

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 3/20

Total number of outcomes = 50 × 40 =2000 Number of unripe mangos = 20 × 15 = 300 P{both being unripe} = 300/2000 = 3/20
