Answer: The correct answer is (b)

Explanation:

out of 500 fish, 100 fish were tagged

50 fishes can be caught.

we need to find the number of fishes which would be tagged.

The ratio of tagged fishes and total fishes is = $\frac{100}{500}$

So, the number fishes tagged in the caught fishes is = $\frac{100}{500}\times 50 =10$

Hence, 10 fishes are expected to be tagged among the 50 caught fishes.

The correct option is b
