The Solution:

Given:

We are asked to find the probability of selecting a black cat.

By formula,


Probability=\frac{number\text{ of required outcomes}}{total\text{ possible outcomes}}

Thus,


P(B)=\frac{number\text{ of black cats}}{total\text{ number of cats}}=(7)/(11)

Therefore, the correct answer is 7/11
