      Question

      In a silver box there are 8 green, 3 red, and 4 blue

      pens while in a gold box there are 6 green, 7 red, and 3 blue pens. One pen is drawn at random from the combined pens of both boxes. Find the probability that it is a red pen from the gold box.
      A 7/31 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 7/32 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 3/31 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 1/4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 7/30 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Total pens in silver box = 8 + 3 + 4 = 15
      Total pens in gold box = 6 + 7 + 3 = 16
      Total pens combined = 15 + 16 = 31
      Probability pen is from gold box = 16/31
      Probability pen is red given gold box = 7/16
      Required probability = (16/31) Γ— (7/16) = 7/31
