An NGO organises a charity event in which they decide to distribute woollen caps to protect children from winter. The caps to be distributed are in three separate boxes, Box I has 30 red caps, Box II has 20 red and 10 green caps, and Box III has 30 green caps. The probability that a Box i is selected and a cap picked out is i/6, where i = 1, 2, 3.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions :
What is the probability that he selects a red cap?

A gardener wanted to plant vegetables in his garden. Hence he bought 10 seeds of brinjal plant, 12 seeds of cabbage plant, and 8 seeds of radish plant. The shopkeeper assured him of germination probabilities of brinjal, cabbage, and radish to be 25%, 35%, and 40% respectively. But before he could plant the seeds, they got mixed up in the bag and he had to sow them randomly.
