Solution

C$-I$ $\left|\begin{array}{ll}1 & 1 \\ 0 & 1\end{array}\right| \rightarrow 4$ ways
C$-II$ $\left|\begin{array}{ll}1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1\end{array}\right| \&\left|\begin{array}{ll}0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0\end{array}\right| \rightarrow 2$ ways
$P =\frac{\text { favourable }}{\text { total }}=\frac{6}{16}=\frac{3}{8}$
