Two balls are drawn at random with replacement from a box containing 10 black and 8 red balls.

Total balls =18

Black balls = 10

Red balls = 8

The probability of getting a red ball in first draw 

                                                                            =\frac{8}{18}=\frac{4}{9}

The ball is replaced after drawing first ball.

The probability of getting a red ball in second draw 

                                                                            =\frac{8}{18}=\frac{4}{9}

the probability that both balls are red

                                                            =\frac{4}{9}\times \frac{4}{9}=\frac{16}{81}
