(B) Let $A$ be the first bag and $B$ be the second bag.For bag $A$: $P(	ext{red}_A) = \frac{3}{8}$,$P(	ext{black}_A) = \frac{5}{8}$.For bag $B$: $P(	ext{red}_B) = \frac{6}{10}$,$P(	ext{black}_B) = \frac{4}{10}$.The event 'one is red and the other is black' can happen in two mutually exclusive ways:$1$. Red from bag $A$ and black from bag $B$.$2$. Black from bag $A$ and red from bag $B$.Required probability $= P(	ext{red}_A) 	imes P(	ext{black}_B) + P(	ext{black}_A) 	imes P(	ext{red}_B)$$= (\frac{3}{8} 	imes \frac{4}{10}) + (\frac{5}{8} 	imes \frac{6}{10})$$= \frac{12}{80} + \frac{30}{80} = \frac{42}{80} = \frac{21}{40}$.
