Answer #1

Since, In the question, there are few things which are not mentioned clearly, so I’ve taken both the case, 1st when good eggs are identical and 2nd when they are not. Also I’ve assumed that eggs are drawn without replacement otherwise the answer will again be different.

Please let me know if you need any further explanation. Thank you
