Answer:

Answer:

Option B: 60%

Explanation:

The number of blue candies with nuts = 20

The number of blue candies without nuts = 30

The total number of blue candies = 20 + 30 = 50

As the chosen candy is blue, the probability that is does not contain any nuts will be = (The number of blue candies without nuts)/(Total number of blue candies)

So, the probability = 30/50 = 0.6 *100% = 60%
