There is a ice cream box containing ice creams that can be either mango flavored or chocolate flavored. You know the fact that there is at least one mango flavored ice cream in that box. Your eyes are then closed and you pick two ice creams at random.

You are provided with the fact that at least one of them will be chocolate flavored ice cream.

Can you now find out how many chocolate ice creams are there in that box?

    You are provided with the fact that at least one of them will be chocolate ……
    (chocolate, mango) or (chocolate,chocolate)
    But picking random how can u be sure u got at least one chocolate ? Because u have only one mango ice cream there.  As a result u will never get (mango,mango) combination.
    Thanks!!

    there is only 1 mango flavoured ice cream and rest is chocolate flavoured because if we can get atleast 1 chocoflavored ice cream in 2 ice cream chosen which means  that mango flavoured ice cream should be only once because if  it is more than one we must not come to the conclusion that chocolate flavoured shoul be atleast one in the chosen 2 ice creams..
