.a drawer contains red n blue socks.if i pull 2 out of random then the cane of being red pair is half n chance of being blue is twelveth.how many socks r in drawer.

• ques is ambiguous....
  it should be like that
  prob.of drawing red pair is 1/2&prob. of drawing blue pair is 1/12
  then prob. of not getting red pair=1-1/2 i.e 1/2 =prob. of geting blue pair+prb. of geting 1 red&1 blue
  prob. of getting 1 red 1 blue=1/2-1/12=5/12
  1 additional info needed

• The chance of being red pair is 1/2
  The chance of being blue should be 1/2(as it given its equal to 12)
