Answer:
Option A:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given there are 10 cards viz: 1, 2, 3, 4, . . . , 10
We find the probability of drawing two cards less than six, without replacing the first card.
Draw 1:
There are 5 cards with value less than 6. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
The total number of cards is 10.
The probability of the number being less than 6 =
Draw 2:
We are again drawing a card without replacing the card that was drawn earlier. This makes the total number of cards 9.
Also, the number of cards less than 6 will now be: 4.
Therefore, probability of drawing a number less than 6 without replacing
Since, both draw 1 and draw 2 are happening we multiply the two probabilities. We get
Hence, OPTION A is the required answer.
