a. 14/25

b. 2/5

c. 8/25

d. 19/50

Explanation:

Step1: Count dark - blue squares

By counting, there are 56 dark - blue squares.

Step2: Calculate probability

The probability formula is $P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$. Here, the total number of squares is 100. So $P = \frac{56}{100}=\frac{14}{25}$.

Answer:

A. 14/25
