A.
B.
C.
Answer
D.
Answer: Option C
Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
Choosing 4 shirts means 1st shirt and 2nd and then 3rd and then 4th shirtAt least 1 red shirt means there can be 1, 2, 3 or 4 red shirts
So, Probability of choosing red = 1 - Probability of not choosing red
If we remove red shirts, then 15 - 4 red shirts = 11 shirts remain.
We have to choose 4 out of these 11
So Probability of choosing 4 shirts which are not red
∴ Probability of picking at least 1 red shirt
