A = Answer: 97149

B = Answer: 112149


SOLUTION 1 :

A bag consists of 149 shirts.

n(S) = 149.

(i) ..... A trader A will accept only good shirts 

n(A) = 97.

P(A) = n(A) / a(S) = 97149 = 97149 .

 A will accept only good shirts = 97149

(ii) .... A trader B will not accept the shirts which have major defects.

         Trader B will accept the shirts which have minor defects.

n(B) = 97 + 15   ( B accepts good and minor defects shirts)

       =  112.

P(B) = n(B) / n(S) = 112149 = 112149

Trader B will accept the shirts which have minor defects = 112149 .
