Solution

Step 1

State an expression for the probability

[tex]\text{Probability of an event}=\frac{number\text{ of required event}}{\text{Total number of events}}[/tex]

Number of required events = 10

Total number of events = 34

Step 2

Find the required probability after substitution

[tex]\begin{gathered} =\frac{10}{34} \\ =\frac{5}{17} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence option B
