    a) Probability of both being girl = 1/4

    b) Probability of having atleast one girl = 1

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let name the two classes: Class A and Class B respectively.

    Class A = 60 students, 30boys and 30girls

    Class B = 50 students, 25boys and 25girls

    a) Probability of both being girls=

    Probability of selecting girl in Class A * Probability of selecting girl in Class B

    Probability of both being girls = 30/60 * 25/50

    = 1/2 x 1/2

    = 1/4

    Probability of both being girls = 1/4

    b) probability of having atleast one girl = Probability of selecting girl in Class A + Probability of selecting girl in Class B

    Probability of both being girls = 30/60 + 25/50

    = 1/2 + 1/2

    = 1

    Probability of having atleast one girl = 1
