    B 1/2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 5/11 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 6/11 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 7/11 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Required probability
    = (2/4) X (6/11) X (5/10) + (2/4) X (5/11) X (4/10) + (2/4) X (5/11) X (4/10) + (2/4) X (6/11) X (5/10) = (2/4) X (30/110) + (2/4) X (20/110) + (2/4) X (20/110) + (2/4) X (30/110) = (60/440) + (40/440) + (40/440) + (60/440) = (200/440) = (5/11)
