totally 18 black socks and 16 white socks = 34 socks...
success is selecting 2 0r 3 black socks from 34 socks...

ans = (18C2/34C2)+(18C3/34C3) = 9/22

51/187. Here totl number is not 17. Its 34. So the probability is 18c2/34c2

want to select three socks(not 3 pairs)
so two socks must be black ,from 9 pairs =18 socks =>18C2
and one sock from (8+9-1)*2=32
so answer 32*18C2
