    1/9

    Step-by-step explanation:

    There are 10 x 9 ways to choose two balls from the urn. Order does not matter, since Carlo must have the larger ball. So there are 10 choose 2 total ways to choose the balls. If Carlos has the 6, Eric can only have balls 1-5, so the answer is 5/45, or 1/9.
