Answer: Second option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have two spinners,

Each spinner has 10 equal sectors labeled with the numbers from 1 to 10.

Primes numbers from 1 to 10 is given by

[tex]\{2,3,5,7\}[/tex]

So, number of outcomes shows a  primes number from 1 to 10 = 4

Similarly ,

Composite numbers from 1 to 10 is given by

[tex]\{4,6,8,9,10\}[/tex]

So, number of outcomes shows a composite number from 1 to 10 =5

∴ Total outcomes show a prime number on the first spinner and a composite number on the second spinner is given by

[tex]4\times 5=20\\[/tex]

Thus, Second option is correct.
