A basket of fruits contains 10 bananas, 5 mangoes, and 5 apples. A fruit is selected at random. Calculate the probability of selecting an apple or a banana.
A. 12.5%
B. 0
C. 62.5%
D. 75%
First, calculate the total number of fruits in the basket: 10 (bananas) + 5 (mangoes) + 5 (apples) = 20 fruits
Next, calculate the probability of selecting an apple or a banana: (10 (bananas) + 5 (apples)) / 20 (total fruits) = 15 / 20 = 0.75 or 75%
Therefore, the correct answer is D. 75%
