Solution

The correct option is C 516
Total number of items in the bag,
n = 4 + 3 + 5 + 4 = 16

Let m denote number of element in the event "taking out a blue square".
then, m = 5.
Therefore, probability of taking out a blue square is
P(A) =Number of outcomes favourable to ATotal possible outcomesi.e., P(A) = mni.e., P(A) = 516
