Question

If a piece of fruit is randomly picked out of a covered bowl with 4 mangoes, 6 oranges, and 1 jack fruit, what is the probability that the piece of fruit picked is an orange?

Answer 1

The total number of fruits is 4+6+1=11 . Since there are 6 orange, the probability to pick an orange is

`P(\text{orange)}=(6)/(11)`

which corresponds to the first option.
