A box consists of 60 wall clocks, out of which 40 are good, 15 have minor
defects and the remaining are broken. A trader will reject the box, if the
clock taken out from the box is broken. The trader randomly takes out one
clock from the box. What is the probability that :
(i) the box will be rejected ?
(ii) the clock taken out of the box has minor defect ?
