So the prob of picking I the first time = 2/10 = 1/5
You are now returning it, so wouldn't the second draw have the same probability, since the letters certainly don't remember what happened to them ??
So what do you think?

I misread the part about replacing it
I read it as being replaced, so
it should be
(2/10)(1/9) = 1/45
you are right
