Total number of chips = 4+ 6 = 10
Number of white chips = 4

Probability of picking a white chip =
(4)/(10)= (2)/(5)

This white chip is not replaced back into the bag. This will reduce the number of white chips in the bag by 1 and reduce the total number of chips in the bag by 1.

So, now the total number of chips in the bag = 3 + 6 = 9
Number of white chips in the bag = 3

Probability of picking a white chip =
(3)/(9)= (1)/(3)

Thus, the probability of picking two white chips will be =
(2)/(5)* (1)/(3)= (2)/(15)

Therefore, option B gives the correct answer.
