Question: In a fruit basket, there are 10 apples, 5 oranges, and 15 bananas. If a fruit is randomly selected, what is the probability that it is either an orange or a banana?
(A) 2⁄3
(B) 1⁄2
(C) 3⁄5
(D) 1⁄6
Solution:
Total fruits = 10 (apples) + 5 (oranges) + 15 (bananas) = 30.
Number of oranges or bananas = 5 (oranges) + 15 (bananas) = 20.
Thus, the probability of choosing an orange or a banana:
P(orange or banana)= 20⁄30 = 2⁄3
