We are given that a bag contains fruits. The probability of getting a banana and then getting a pear is equivalent of the individual probabilities, that is:


P(\text{B and P)=P(B)xP(p)}

Since he gets the banana first, the probability is:


P(B)=(1)/(3+2+1+4)=(1)/(10)

Now, the probability of getting a pear is given by the number of pears and the total number of fruits minus the banana, that is:


P(p)=(4)/(3+2+4)=(4)/(9)

Therefore, the total probability is:


P(\text{B and P)=}((1)/(10))((4)/(9))=(4)/(90)=0.044

The probability is 4.4%.
