Harry is just as likely as anyone else to be selected for one of the two positions, so the answer is 2/10 = 1/5.

This question is from the diagnostic test at the beginning of the OG, and I do not understand why their solution goes on for several paragraphs.

Thank you, I have no idea either why so many paragraphs. I think having that many paragraphs confused me. Thanks again for your help. You make it seem easy. :D
