'Operation T' consists of Deeti taking one pen at random from her left pocket and placing it in her right pocket, then taking one pen at random from her right pocket and placing it in her left pocket.

(i) Find the probability that, when Deeti carries out operation T, she takes a blue pen from her left pocket and then a blue pen from her right pocket.

The random variable X is the number of blue pens in Deeti's left pocket after carrying out operation T.

\((ii) Find P(X = 1).\)
