13/70
13/14
26/175

Answer 1

Answer:

13/14 I think

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is C. 13/14

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Probability of drawing the first candy red = }\frac{2}{5}$

Let the probability of drawing second candy red be x

$\text{Now, Probability of drawing the two candies red = }\frac{13}{35}$

So, Probability of drawing two candies red = Probability of drawing one candy red × Probability of drawing second candy red

$\frac{13}{35}=\frac{2}{5}\times x$

$\implies x = \frac{13}{35}\times \frac{5}{2}$

$\implies x = \frac{13}{14}$

$\textbf{The probability of drawing second candy red = }\bf\frac{13}{14}$

Therefore, The correct option is C. 13/14
