Verified by Experts

Let A denotes Apples and `O` denotes Oranges and it is given that there are 20 apples and 10 oranges.
Out of 20 apples 5 and 10 oгanges 3 are defective.
`P(A U B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A cap B) `
`n(A)= (text{}^20 C_{2}) `
`P(A)=frac{ text{}^20 C_{2}}{ text{}^30 C_{2}} `
`n(B)= text{}^22 C_{2} `
`P(B)=frac{ text{}^22 C_{2}}{ text{}^30 C_{2}} `
