The complete question is in the picture, please refer to the attached picture.
It is given that:
Mechanical pencil: 1 red, 1 green, 1 blue
Erase cap: 1 red, 1 green, 1 blue, and 1 yellow.
P(both red) = (1/3)x(1/4) = 1/12
P(both green) = (1/3)x(1/4) = 1/12
P(both blue) = (1/3)x(1/4) = 1/12
P(same colour) = 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 = 3/12 = 1/4
Thus, the probability that she will select a pencil and a cap that is the same color is 1/4 option (C) 1/4 is correct.
