Correct Answer - `1//4`
If third ball is red, then in first two draws, there will be either no red ball or one red ball.
Let events
`R_(0)=` in first two draws, red ball is drawn
`R_(1)` = in first two draws, one red ball is drawn.
`R=` in third draw , red ball is drawn.
So, from total probability theorem,
`P(R)=P(R_(0))P(R//R_(0))+P(R_(1))P(R//R_(1))`
`=(""^(6)C_(2))/(""^(8)C_(2)).(""^(2)C_(1))/(""^(6)C_(1))+(""^(6)C_(1)""^(2)C_(1))/(""^(8)C_(2)).(""^(1)C_(1))/(""^(6)C_(1))`
`=15/28.(2)/(6)+(6xx2)/(28).1/6=1/4`

A bag contains 3 red, 7 white, and 4 black balls. If three balls are drawn from the bag, then find the probability that all of them are of the same co

Correct Answer - `(10)/(91)` The required probability is `(.^(3)C_(3) + .^(7)C_(3) + .^(4)C_(3))/(.^(14)C_(3)) = (1 + 35 + 4)/(14 xx 13 xx 2) = (40)/(14 xx 26) = (10)/(91)`

Correct Answer - A P (required) = P (all are white) + P (all are red) + P (all are black) `=1/6xx2/9xx3/12+3/6xx3/9xx4/12+2/6xx4/9xx2/12=6/648+36/648+40/648=82/648`
