Box A contains 7 items of which 2 are defective, and box B contains 6 items of which 1 is defective. If an item is drawn at random from each box. Find the probability that both items are non- defective.
1/21
19/42
10/13
25/42
solution:- option A. 1 / 21
given that
box A contains 7 items of which 2 are defective = 2 / 7
box B contains 6 items of which 1 is defective = 1 / 6
probability that both items are non defective = 2 / 7 * 1 / 6
=> 2 / 42 => 1 / 21
