Two brother X and Y appeared for an exam. The probability of selection of X is 1/7 and that of B is 2/9. Find the probability that both of them are selected. Choose the correct choice from the following answers
A) 2 / 69 B) 2 / 60 C) 2 / 63 D) 2 / 29 E) 2 / 10

Rationale: "explanation : let a be the event that x is selected and b is the event that y is selected . p ( a ) = 1 / 7 , p ( b ) = 2 / 9 . let c be the event that both are selected . p ( c ) = p ( a ) × p ( b ) as a and b are independent events : = ( 1 / 7 ) × ( 2 / 9 ) = 2 / 63 answer : c ) 2 / 63"
Answer: C
