First, we need to find the total number of fruits in the basket:
Total fruits = 10 bananas + 5 mangos + 5 apples
Total fruits = 20 fruits
Next, we need to find the probability of selecting an apple and a banana:
Probability = (Number of apples / Total fruits) * (Number of bananas / Total fruits)
Probability = (5/20) * (10/20)
Probability = (1/4) * (1/2)
Probability = 1/8
To express this probability in percentage form, we multiply by 100:
Probability = 1/8 * 100
Probability = 12.5%
Therefore, the probability of selecting an apple and a banana from the basket of fruit is 12.5%.
