Answer

Let the no. of bad eggs be x.

 P(getting a bad egg)=x4000.035=x400x=0.035×400x=14.\therefore \text{ P(getting a bad egg)} = \dfrac{x}{400} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 0.035 = \dfrac{x}{400} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = 0.035 \times 400 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = 14.

Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
