We know that,

Probability of occurrence of an event 

 = \(\frac{Total\,no.of\,Desired\,outcomes}{Total\,no.of\,outcomes}\) 

Total no. of outcomes = 10 + 25 = 35

Desired outcomes are prizes. Total no. of desired outcomes = 10 

Therefore, the probability of getting a prize = \(\frac{10}{35}\) = \(\frac{2}{7}\)

Conclusion: Probability of getting a prize is =  \(\frac{2}{7}\)
