Solution

The correct option is A
0.8

Total number of fruits = 120

Number of good fruit = 120 – 24 = 96
$P (F) = \frac{Number of favourable outcomes}{Total number of possible outcomes}$

where P(F) = Probability that fruit is good

= $\frac{Number of good fruit}{Total number of fruits}$

= $\frac{96}{120} = 0.8$ .
