Question:

Match List-I with List-II

An urn contains 4 white and 3 red balls. In a random draw of three balls, the probability of

List-I

List-II

(A) No red ball is

(I) $\frac{12}{35}$

(B) Only 1 red ball is

(II) $\frac{1}{35}$

(C) Exactly 2 red balls is

(III) $\frac{4}{35}$

(D) no white ball is

(IV) $\frac{18}{35}$

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)

(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

(A)-(IV), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)

(A)-(IV), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(I)

Correct Answer:

(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

List-I

List-II

(A) No red ball is

(III) $\frac{4}{35}$

(B) Only 1 red ball is

(IV) $\frac{18}{35}$

(C) Exactly 2 red balls is

(I) $\frac{12}{35}$

(D) no white ball is

(II) $\frac{1}{35}$

Total balls = 4 white + 3 red = 7

Total ways to choose 3 balls = 7C3 = 35


(A) No red ball ⇒ all 3 white

Ways = 4C3 = 4

Probability = \(\frac{4}{35}\) ⇒ (A) → (III)


(B) Only 1 red ball ⇒ 1 red, 2 white

Ways = 3C1 × 4C2 = 3 × 6 = 18

Probability = \(\frac{18}{35}\) ⇒ (B) → (IV)


(C) Exactly 2 red balls ⇒ 2 red, 1 white

Ways = 3C2 × 4C1 = 3 × 4 = 12

Probability = \(\frac{12}{35}\) ⇒ (C) → (I)


(D) No white ball ⇒ all 3 red

Ways = 3C3 = 1

Probability = \(\frac{1}{35}\) ⇒ (D) → (II)
