There are two bags A and B. A contains 6 red flowers and 3 pink flowers. where as bag B contains 2 red flowers and 7 pink flowers. One flower is chosen from a bag randomly. What is the probability that the flower chosen is pink?
Choose the correct answer
A) 5 / 8
B) 5 / 6
C) 5 / 1
D) 5 / 9
E) 5 / 2

Rationale: bag a 6 red + 3 pink bag b 2 red + 7 pink probability of picking 1 pink from bag a is 3 / 9 probability of picking 1 pink from bag b is 7 / 9 total = 3 / 9 + 7 / 9 = 10 / 9 and probability of selecting a bag is 1 / 2 so finally probability of choosing a pink flower = 1 / 2 ( 10 / 9 ) = 5 / 9 answer : d
Answer: D
