उत्तर
If the family has two children
the sample space S = {GG, GB, BG, BB}
∴ n(S) = 4
It is given that at least one of them is a girl so that sample space reduces to A = {GG, GB, BG} for which n(A) = 3
Out of these three cases, there is one favourable case GG when both the children are girls.
∴ the required probability = `1/3`
