C. 1/3
Feedback Let b stand for boy and g for girl. The sample space of the experiment is
S = {(g, g), (g, b), (b, g), (b, b)}
Let E and F denote the following events :
E : ‘both the children are girls’
F : ‘at least one of the child is a girl’
Then E = {(g,g)} and F = {(g,g), (g,b), (b,g)}
Now E n F = {(g,g)}
Thus P(F) = 3/4
and P (E n F )= 1/4
Therefore P(E|F) = P(E n F)/P(F) = (1/4)/(3/4) = 1/3
