  • 13

  • 118


D.

118

Two squares can be chosen in a single row by 7 ways as there are 8 squares in each row. But there are 8 rows. So, number of waysto
choose two squares in any of the row = 7 x 8 = 56. Similarly, number of ways to choose two squares in any of the column = 56

  Total number of favourable cases = 56 + 56            = 112and total number of cases = C264 = 64 × 632           = 32 × 63 Required probability = 11232 × 63 = 118
