T G  (10 years ago)

arrangement = 5!/3!=20
Probability of getting all 3 balls=
3 from 5=5c3
1 from 3 red ball,1 green,1 yellow
(3c1*1c1*1c1)/5c3 =3/10
is the 2nd ans 3/10????

ASHISH KATIYAR  (10 years ago)

total no of arrangments ::

(considering arrangment of all 5 balls)
5 balls can be arranged in !5 but 3 are of same in color so 5!/3!=20

probability part ::

(considering probability of getting all 3 red balls)
since p=favorable cases/total cases
so probability of getting all 3 red balls is 1 (favorable)
and total cases will be selecting any 3 balls out of 5 ie 5C3
hence p=1/5C3 = 1/10
