  1. A 54 Correct answer
  2. B 66
  3. C 56
  4. D 64

Solution

<p>$$\begin{aligned} & P(\text { standard automobile from } A)=\frac{6}{10} \times \frac{8}{10}=\frac{12}{25} \\ & P(\text { standard automobile from } B)=\frac{4}{10} \times \frac{9}{10}=\frac{9}{25} \end{aligned}$$</p> <p>$$\begin{aligned} & \text { Required Probability } \frac{\frac{9}{25}}{\frac{12}{25}+\frac{9}{25}} \\ & P=\frac{9}{21}=\frac{3}{7} \end{aligned}$$</p> <p>So, $126 P=126 \times \frac{3}{7}=54$</p>
