Out of 70 schools, 42 of them can be attended by boys and 35 can be attended by girls. If a pupil is selected at random from these schools, find the probability that he/ she is from a mixed school.

A.

111

B.

110

C.

16

D.

15

Correct answer is B

Let the number of mixed schools be S

The number of boys only = 42 - S

The number of girls only = 35 - S

(42 - S) + S + (35 - S) = 77 - S = 70

S = 7

Probability=770=110
