Said is getting dressed without turning on the light

so that he won't wake his brother. He is picking
socks, but he cannot tell the colors of the socks in
his sock drawer in the dark. He knows that there are
12 black socks, 8 red socks, and 16 brown socks in the drawer.
If Said draws a brown sock first and then a
black sock, what is the probability that he will
make a matched pair on his next pick?

A.13/17
B.15/34
C.11/34
D.1/17​
