Two brothers Ram and Ravi appeared for an exam. The probability of selection of Ram is 5/7 and that of Ravi is 1/5. Find the probability that both of them are selected.	Choose the correct choice from the following.
A) 2 / 35
B) 2 / 3
C) 7 / 35
D) 1 / 7
E) 7 / 5

Rationale: "let a be the event that ram is selected and b is the event that ravi is selected . p ( a ) = 5 / 7 p ( b ) = 1 / 5 let c be the event that both are selected . p ( c ) = p ( a ) x p ( b ) as a and b are independent events : = 5 / 7 x 1 / 5 = 1 / 7 answer : d"
Answer: D
