A candy company distributes boxes of chocolates with a mixture of creams, toffees and cordials. Suppose that the weight of each box is 1 kilogram, but the individual weights of the creams, toffees and cordials vary from box to box. For a randomly selected box, let X = weight of creams and Y =weights of the toffees and the pdf is described as:
f(x,y)= 24xy-for(0< or =x< or =1), (0< or =y< or =1), (x+y < or =1)

a. Find the probability that in a given box, the cordials amount for more than half of the weight
