Question

A bag contains $3$ white, $4$ black, $2$ red balls. If $2$ balls are drawn at random, then the probability that both the balls are white, is

• A. $\frac{1}{18}$
• B. $\frac{1}{36}$
• C. $\frac{1}{12}$
• D. $\frac{1}{24}$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$\frac{1}{12}$

Answer 2

Total number of balls = 9
Probability of drawn two white balls
$= \frac{3}{9} \times \frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{12}$
