Option B:
1/3

Difficulty Level
HardSolution
Option C is the correct answer.
Option Analysis
The probability of NOT selecting medium out of 3 sizes = 2/3
The probability of NOT selecting red out of 4 colors = 3/4
Total probability of NOT selecting red and medium = (2/3)*(3/4) = 1/2
Required probability = 1 – 1/2 (this will select at least one of red and medium)
= 1/2
