            With replacements !


There are  4 + 6 = 10  fruits,  total.


(a)  %286%2F10%29%2A%286%2F10%29 = 36%2F100 = 0.36.



(b)  %284%2F10%29%2A%286%2F10%29 = 24%2F100 = 0.24.



(c)  %284%2F10%29%2A%286%2F10%29 + %286%2F10%29%2A%284%2F10%29 = 24%2F100+%2B+24%2F100 = 48%2F100 = 0.48.



(d)  It means that you draw apple each time.

     P = %284%2F10%29%5E2 = 16%2F100 = 0.16.

Solved.
