Solution
The correct option is A25 Since, it is given that the sum of the selected numbers is even therefore, we can select either both odd numbers or both even numbers.
For sum of the selected numbers to be even, number of ways are 5C2+6C2 ∴ Required conditional probability =5C25C2+6C2 =5×425×42+6×52=25
