Q:

One lady has 2 children, one of her child is boy, what is the probability of having both are boys ?

A) 1/3 B) 1/2
C) 2/3 D) 2/5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1/3

Explanation:

In a family with 2 children there are four possibilities:
1) the first child is a boy and the second child is a boy (bb)
2) the first child is a boy and the second child is a girl (bg)
3) the first child is a girl and the second child is a boy (gb)
4) the first child is a girl and the second child is a girl (gg)

But already given that one child is boy. So we have three possibilities of (bb)(bg)(gb).
n(E)= both are boys=BB=1
n(S)= 3
Required probability P = n(E)/n(S) = 1/3.
