A.1/3
B.2/3
C.2/5
D.3/7
Answer: A.1/3
Explanation: Let b stand for girl and g for boy. The sample space of the experiment is
S = {(g, g), (g, b), (b, g), (b, b)}
Let E and F denote the following events :
E : ‘both the children are boys’
F : ‘at least one of the child is a boy’
Then E = {(g,g)} and F = {(g,g), (g,b), (b,g)}
