    A 7/12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1/2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 13/24 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2/3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The total number of balls = 6 + 8 + 10 = 24 The number of favorable outcomes (red or green) = 6 + 8 = 14 The probability is given by: Probability = (Favorable Outcomes) / (Total Outcomes) Probability = 14/24 = 7/12 Correct Option: a) 7/12
