Detailed Solution

Given that the game has 8 triangles of which 3 are blue and the rest are red, and 10 squares of which 6 are blue and the rest are red.
Let us assume that P(A) is the probability of an event “A”, n(S) is the total number of events in the sample space and n(A) is the number of favorable outcomes.
The total number of shapes is,
n S =8+10 n S =18   Let B be the event that the lost piece is a square. So, n B =10   .
The probability is,
P B = Number of favourable outcomes Total number of outcomes P B = n B n S P B = 10 18 P B = 5 9  
Hence, the given statement is false, and the probability that it is a square is 59..
Therefore, the correct option is 2.
