    answer is 1/7

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that there were some orange balls in a bag.

    The probability of choosing two orange balls without replacement is 1/35, and the probability of choosing one orange ball is 1/5.

    We have to find out the probability of drawing a second orange ball, given that the first ball is orange

    Let A - I ball orange

    B = II ball orange

    Then P (AB) = 1/35 (given)

    P (A) = 1/5 (given)

    The probability of drawing a second orange ball, given that the first ball is orange = P (B/A)

    =P (AB) / P (A)

    = 1/35 divided by 1/5

    = 1/7

    answer is 1/7
