• 3 possibilities are there WW, WB or BW , BB
  probability of both are white = 1/3

• 1/3 is the probability
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
• Probability of first sock containing white is:-1/2
  Probability of 2nd sock containing white is :- 1/2
  Acc toh question probability of both the socks is(WW):- 1/2*1/2= 1/4 answer

• in the Question he mentioned only White Scoks so we need take look
  here is the possible outcomes WW,WB,BW,BB
  now in Question he asked only white socks
  so take only those posssbile outcomes which are giving White Scoks
  now the answre is 1/3 .......................................
