The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the initial contents of the bag. The bag contains: - 2 red balls - 3 green balls Total number of balls = 2 (red) + 3 (green) = 5 balls. ### Step 2: Determine the situation after Avni draws a red ball. Avni draws one red ball from the bag, and since it is not put back, the contents of the bag change. After Avni's draw: - Red balls left = 2 - 1 = 1 red ball - Green balls left = 3 (remains unchanged) Now, the total number of balls left in the bag = 1 (red) + 3 (green) = 4 balls. ### Step 3: Calculate the probability that Arushi draws a red ball. Now, Arushi will draw from the remaining balls. The probability of drawing a red ball can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Probability of drawing a red ball} = \frac{\text{Number of red balls left}}{\text{Total number of balls left}} \] Substituting the values we have: \[ \text{Probability of drawing a red ball} = \frac{1 \text{ (red ball)}}{4 \text{ (total balls)}} = \frac{1}{4} \] ### Final Answer: The probability that Arushi also gets a red ball is \(\frac{1}{4}\). ---
