If '-' means 'and' , then how come you have said that 'any red toy is desirable, as is any large toy' ? This means 'or' red or large..because you have not multiplied the no.s you have added them, so how is it 'and'? Because the question reads: what is the probability that at least one of the color ...

If it is not too much to ask for I would like to know the questions of OG 11 that are not repeated in OG 12, this way I can get good practice. I will practice only unrepeated questions from OG 11 and all from OG 12. Can I get this list for both sections math and verbal?

Probability = # of desired possibilities / total number of possibilities. We're given three sizes, and four colors. So there's 12 possibilities. The boy wants 1 possibility, a red large. So the probability is 1/12. However, engg.manik possibly meant a red toy OR a large toy. In which case, there's ...

For eg. if we name projects as A, B and C. Don't we also need...
