Solution

The correct option is A 0.8
Given, the total number of glasses = (20+5) = 25
⇒ Total number of outcomes = 25

Let E be the event of choosing a good glass.

Number of good glasses = 20
⇒ Number of favourable outcomes = 20

$Probability P(E) = \frac{Number of favourable outcomes}{Total number of outcomes} = \frac{20}{25} = \frac{4}{5} = 0.8$

Therefore, the probability of getting a good glass is 0.8.
