a 3/10
b 7/10
c 3/5
d 2/5

Answer 1

Bis the correct answer

Answer 2

Answer:
`(7)/(10)`

Explanation:

Here, The total dishes = 10

Dishes having meat = 3 ( chicken, meatloaf and hamburger )

Thus, the probability of having meat on the chosen dishes = Number of dishes having meat / Total dishes

=
`(3)/(10)`

Therefore, the probability of not having meat = 1- the probability of having meat on the chosen dishes

=
`1 - (3)/(10)`

=
`(10-3)/(10)`

=
`(7)/(10)`

⇒ Option b is correct.
