Practicing Success
A bag contains 3 white, 4 black and 2 red balls. If 2 balls are drawn at random (without replacement), then the probability that both the balls are white is : |
$\frac{1}{36}$ $\frac{1}{24}$ $\frac{1}{12}$ $\frac{1}{18}$ |
$\frac{1}{12}$ |
The correct answer is Option (3) → $\frac{1}{12}$ Total balls → 9 no. of white balls → 3 black balls → 4 red balls → 2 probability of 2 drawn of balls to be white $⇒\frac{{^3C}_2}{{^9C}_2}=\frac{3×2}{9×8}=\frac{1}{12}$ |
