Question

A bag(1) contains 6 red beads and 4 green beads. Another bag(2) contains 2 red and 2 green beads more. The probability of getting a red bead from which bag is more?

• A. First bag
• B. Second bag
• C. Both are equally likely
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A

First bag

Number of red beads in first bag = 6
Probability of getting red beads from the first bag = $\frac{6}{10}$
Number of red beads in the second bag = 6 + 2 = 8
Probability of getting red beads from the second bag = $\frac{8}{14}$

$\frac{6}{10}>\frac{8}{14}$

$\therefore$Probability of getting a red bead from the first bag is more
