Re: A garden has only equal number of roses and tulips. Two flowers are se [#permalink]

Shouldn't the answer be C?
Since the question says "Equal number of flowers", Roses = 2, Tulips = 2
Total = 10.
QA: 2(2/4 x 1/3) => 2(2/12) => 2(1/6) => 1/3
QB: 2/4 x 2/3 => 4/12 => 2/6 > 1/3

QA = QB.

Please correct me if I'm wrong

Thanks in advance!

I found the solution to this question but I want to know why can't we do this question by this logic:
Suppose there are 5 roses and 5 tulips hence 10 flowers
QA: \(\frac{5}{10}\) * \(\frac{4}{9}\) * 2 = \(\frac{4}{9}\)
QB: \(\frac{5}{10}\) * \(\frac{5}{9}\) = \(\frac{5}{18}\)
Thanks!

Then Answer should be A

let's assume tulip = 2 and rose = 2, so total = 4
And since replacement is not mentioned we assume no replacement

Quant A: P=(2/4)*(1/3) = 1/6 and 2P = 1/3

Quant B is tricky because there are 2 ways to select a rose and a tulip.
R and T
or
T and R
So, we will multiply our answer by 2 or calculate separately and then add.
Quant B: P=[(2/4)*(2/3)]*2 = 2/3

So, B
