Hello, this is my first contribution to the forum (and english is not my mother language) so pardon me if I don't answer in the right way.
There are 16 possibilities in total (4x and 4y so 4*4 = 16)
The integer are 9/3; 10/2; 10/5; 12/2; 12/3 and 12/4, therefore 6/16 = 3/8
Hope it helps

Alternate approach:
Probability of choosing "9" from set 1 & "3" from set 2 = 1/4 X 1/4 = 1/16
probability of choosing "10" from set 1 & 2 or "5" from set 2 = 1/4 X 2/4 = 1/8
probability of choosing "12" from set 1 & "2", "3" or "4" from set 2 = 1/4 X 3/4 = 3/16
Adding all probabilities: 1/16 + 1/8 + 3/16 = 6/16 = 3/8.
This is a lengthier process. I like iLc's approach better
