1/5

Each of the 5 balls has 5 possible combinations, as each one (1 - 5) can be paired with any of the 5. Therefore, the total number of combinations is 25.
For the product to be even, one of the balls has to be a 2 or 4. However, 2 multiplied by any number 1 - 5 is not greater than 10, so 2 is not an option. This means one of the balls has to be a 4.
There are only 3 numbers of 1 - 5 that, when multiplied by 4, are greater than 10. These are 3, 4, and 5.
This means that there are 5 combinations that work:
3 × 4 = 12
4 × 3 = 12
4 × 4 = 16
4 × 5 = 20
5 × 4 = 20

This means that 5 out of 25 combinations produce a result that is both even and greater than 10.
5/25 is then simplified to 1/5
