A bag contains 10 mangoes out of which 4 are rotten, two mangoes are taken out together. If one of them is found to be good, the probability that other also good is-

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option A
Out of mangoes, 4 mangoes are rotten
∴ Required probability
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{{{}^6{C_2}}}{{{}^{10}{C_2}}} \cr & = \frac{{\frac{{6!}}{{2!\left( {6 - 2} \right)!}}}}{{\frac{{10!}}{{2!\left( {10 - 2} \right)!}}}} \cr & = \frac{{\frac{{6!}}{{2!4!}}}}{{\frac{{10!}}{{2! \times 8!}}}} \cr & = \frac{{\frac{{6 \times 5}}{{1 \times 2}}}}{{\frac{{10 \times 9}}{{1 \times 2}}}} \cr & = \frac{{6 \times 5}}{{10 \times 9}} \cr & = \frac{1}{3} \cr} $$

Here , ¹⁰c₂ = (10*9)/(2*1) = 45
and , ⁽¹⁰⁻⁴⁾c₂ = (6*5)/(2*1) = 15
So , P(g) = 15/45 i.e. 1/3
