The correct option is
A 12To find the probability that both are boys, if we know that the older child is boy.
Let A be the event that both are boys.
Let B be the event that older one is a boy.
∴A={BB,BB},B={BB}
⇒P(A∩B)={BB}
P(both are boys given the older child is a boy) P(A/B)=P(A∩B)P(B)
S={BB,BG,GB,GG} where B represents boy, G represents girl.
∴P(A)=14,P(B)=24=12,P(A∩B)=14
⇒P(B|A)=P(A∩B)P(B)=1/42/4=12
Thus the probability that they have two boys is 12.
(P(A∩Given S = {MM, MF, FM, FF}, we can see that: P (A)
