Probability
A bag contains 4 red, 5 green and 7 blue balls. Two
balls are drawn at random. What is the probability
that one is green and second of the balls drawn is
blue?
(1)10/11 (2)11/21 (3)35/128
(4)5/76 (5)None of these
Read Solution (Total 4)
-
- total outcomes = 16c2.
probability of 1 ball is green and 2nd ball is blue is=5c1*7c1/16c2=5*7/8*15=7/24
so ans is (5)none of these - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(8) No(0)
- 3). (4c1*7c1)/(16c2) = 35/128

- (5).
probability of one ball green and second ball blue is (4c1/16C1)*(7c1/15C1). - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(5)
- Total 2 balls are drawn so its probability is 16C2 ( 16 because there are total 16 balls)
Now probability that 1st one is green is 5C1 ( as it is asked for 1st ball to be green we will choose only from green balls)
and 2nd ball to be blue probability is 7C1( as 7 blue balls r there)
now total probability will be (5C1+7C1)/16C2
=> 12/120
=>1/10
so reqiured ans must be 1/10
