here one of the kid is girl. so the other should be boy. so the probability of getting girl is 0.

They said that one of the child is girl..so definitely the other child will be either girl or boy..the probability for getting a girl is only one chance..so the answer will be 1.

The following are possible combinations of two children that form a sample space in any earthly family:

Girl - Girl

Girl - Boy

Boy - Girl

Boy - Boy
Since we know one of the children is a girl, we will drop the Boy-Boy possibility from the sample space.
THEY said the probability of each gender is 1/2
so
G G ------- 1/2*1/2=1/4
G B ---------1/2*1/2=1/4
B G -------- 1/2*1/2=1/4
SO we add 1/4+1/4+1/4 ==3/4

one of the children is 1/2.(In terms of 6 months)
other children is also 1/2(In terms oh 6 months)
=1/2+1/2=1.
therfore other kid is 1/2.

Aniket and kumari are a married couple (dont ask me who he is and who she is)! They have two kids, one of them is a girl. Assume safely that the probability of each gender is 1/2.
What is the probability that the other kid is also a girl?
Hint: It is not 1/2 as you would first think.
