If one of these students is selected at random, then the probability that the student selected has opted neither for NCC nor for NSS is :

• A. $\frac{2}{3}$
• B. $\frac{1}{6}$
• C. $\frac{1}{3}$
• D. $\frac{5}{6}$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$\frac{1}{6}$

Answer 2

$A \rightarrow \, \,$opted NCC
$B \rightarrow \, \,$opted NSS
$\therefore \, \,$P (nither A nor B) = $\frac{10}{60} \, = \, z \frac{1}{6}$
