SINCE HALF OF THE NAILS ARE RUSTED, THERE ARE 6X(1/2)=3 RUSTED NAILS. TOTAL NUMBER OF ITEMS IS 10+6=16. SO PROBABILITY=3/16

Probability of choosing a nail is 6/16, where No. of nails = 6 and Total number of nails and nuts = 6+10= 16. Now that we have chosen nails, half of them are rusted. So probability is (6/16)*(1/2) = 3/16.
