Total number sample space two chocolates can be drawn in the way of n(S) = 15C2= 105
At least one to be nestle.. n(E) = 10C1 X5C1 + 10C2 X 5C0 = 95
P(E) = 95/105 = 19/21

it can b done as follows....
(1Nestle and 1Cadbury) or (1Cadbury and 1Nestle) or (2Nestle) i.e.
(10/15 * 5/14) + (5/15 * 10/14) + (10/15 * 9/14) on solving....
5/21 + 5/21 + 3/7 which on solving will give ans as 19/21 :)

Choosing no nestle chocolate -> choosing 2 cadbury / choosing 2 chocolates from total chocolates
-> 5 C 2 / 15 C 2
-> 2/21
Choosing atleast 1 nestle -> 1 - choosing no nestle
-> 1- 2/21
-> 19/21
( ans ) 19/21
