Please check your question, which probably contains typo(s) and incomplete. Cannot have 15 parts of which 77 are defective.

(a) Initially, there are 8 good out of 15, so probability of getting the first good one is 8/15. For the next one, there are only 7 good out of 14, so probability is 7/14. For this two step experiment, the probability of getting 2 good out of two is therefore (8/15)*(7/14)=4/15. Alternatively, you could use the formula by @Surjithayer
