    The probability of the first selection being custard-filled is 8/24. If a custard-filled donut was selected first, there are 7 custard-filled donuts remaining among a total of 23 donuts. Therefore the probability of the second selection being a custard - filled donut is 7/23. The required probability is therefore:

    (8/24) x (7/23) = 7/69

    The answer is 7/69
