IMO : 13/36

Picking 2 numbers from each set : 6c1*6c1=36

Favourable outcomes = 13
(1,4)
(2,4),(2,6)
(3,4)
(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6)
(5,4)
(6,2),(6,4)

Therefore Required prob = 13/36.

Whats the OA?

I have another solution to this prob without listing all possible cases.

+ If the element taken out from the first set is 4 then the left is what ever element from set 2
Prob=1/6
+ If the first element is even then the left element have to be even
Prob=2/6 (eliminate 4)*3/6=1/6
+ If the element is odd then the left must be 4
Prob=3/6*1/6=1/12

Total Prob = 1/6+1/6+1/12 =5/12
