A box has 4 red, 3 blue, and 3 green balls. If two balls are drawn with replacement, the probability both are red is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A box has 4 red, 3 blue, and 3 green balls. If two balls are drawn with replacement, the probability both are red is:
A. 9/100
B. 16/100
C. 4/100
D. 12/100
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
With replacement, P(red) = 4/10 = 0.4 each draw. P(both red) = 0.4 × 0.4 = 0.16 = 16/100. Replacement ensures independence between draws.
