  • A \(\frac{5}{12}\)
  • B \(\frac{1}{3}\)
  • C \(\frac{3}{4}\)
  • D \(\frac{7}{12}\)
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Coca-Cola = 10 bottles, Fanta = 8 bottles, Spirite = 6 bottles

Total = 24

P(Coca-Cola) = \(\frac{10}{24}\); P(not Coca-Cola)

1 - \(\frac{10}{24}\)

\(\frac{24 - 10}{24} = \frac{14}{24} = \frac{7}{12}\)
