    Answer:0,0025

    Step-by-step explanation:

    P (select a married couple) = P (person selected from Company A is one of the 50 with spouse at Company B) x P (person selected from Company B spouse of person already selected from Company A)

    Now you can substitute the respective probabilities.

    = (50/400) x (1/500)

    = 0,0025
