Solution

The correct option is A

0.88, 0.96


Let E be the event of selecting a shirt acceptable to jimmy

Favourable outcomes for jimmy is 88

P(E) = (Number of outcomes favourable to E)(Total number of outcomes)
= 88100
= 0.88

Let F be the event of selecting a shirt acceptable to Sujatha

Favourable outcomes for Sujatha = 88 + 8 = 96

P(F) = (Number of outcomes favourable to F)(Total number of outcomes)
= 96100
= 0.96
