A$\frac{1}{2}$
B$\frac{1}{4}$
C$\frac{1}{8}$
D$\frac{3}{4}$

C$\frac{1}{8}$
A Sample space when a die is thrown,
$S_1 = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}$
$ \Rightarrow n(S_1) = 6$
Let $A$ be the event that getting even number.
$A = \{2, 4, 6\}$
$\Rightarrow n(A) = 3$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{P(A)}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$
A card is selected from a deck of $52$ cards.
$\text{n}(\text{S}_2)= {^{52}}\text{C}_2=52$
Let $B$ be the event that getting spade card.
$\text{n(B)}= {^{13}}\text{C}_2=13$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{P(B)}=\frac{13}{52}=\frac{1}{4}$
Required probability $= P(A) \times P(B)$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{8}$

A bag $A$ contains $4$ green and $6$ red balls. Another bag $B$ contains $3$ green and $4$ red balls. If one ball is drawn from each bag, find the probability that both are green:
Choose the correct answer from the given four options$.A$ and $B$ are two students. Their chances of solving a problem correctly are $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{4},$ respectively. If the probability of their making a common error is$, \frac{1}{20}$ and they obtain the same answer, then the probability of their answer to be correct is:
An urn contains 5 red and 2 black balls. Two balls are randomly drawn. Let X represent the number of black balls. What are the possible values of X? Is X a random variable?
