Question

# A box contains 10 red flowers, 6 white flowers, 4 pink flowers, and 8 yellow flowers. When Swetha picks a flower at random, what is the probability that the flower is Pink?

A

15

B

13

C

17

D

19

Solution

## The correct option is C 17 Given,  Number of red flowers = 10 Number of white flowers = 6 Number of pink flowers = 4 Number of yellow flowers = 8 Total number of flowers in the box = 10 + 6 + 4 + 8 = 28 ⇒ Total number of outcomes = 28 Number of favourable outcomes = 4 Probability of an event, P(E) = number of favourable outcomestotal number of outcomes P(picking a pink flower) = 428=17 Therefore, the probability that Swetha picks a pink flower is 17.
