A = Answer: 84145

B = Answer: 101145


SOLUTION 1 :

A bag consists of 145 shirts.

n(S) = 145.

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

n(A) = 84.

 A will accept only good shirts = 84145

(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) = 84 + 17   ( B accepts good and minor defects shirts)

       =  101.

P(B) = n(B) / n(S) = 101145 = 101145

Trader B will accept the shirts which have minor defects = 101145 .
