Remember that probability is favorable outcomes divided by possible outcomes.

1)4 Red and 6 Blue: There are 8 red he is chosing 4 thus there are $_8C_4=70$ different ways. There are 9 blue he is chosing 6 thus there are $_9C_6=_9C_3=84$ different ways. Thus there are a complete total of $70\times 84=5880$ ways of chosing these types of cars. This is the favorable outcomes, now we find the possible outcomes. There are $28$ cars altogether and he is taking 10, thus there are $_{28}C_{10}=13123110$ different ways. Thus the probability is the ratio thus,
$p=\frac{5880}{13123110}$.

Everything else is solved similarly.
