Dear Sairam,

 

Prob of a boy is 1/2 and girl is 1/2

according to ques.  atleast one child is girl and other is also girl so

Prob = 1 * 1/2 = 1/2

A Person can have a boy or a girl as a child

so therefore

sample space = { BB ,BG,GB,GG }

 

therefore probabilty that both are girls is 1/4

 

approve the answer if its right
