पर्याय

  • `1/66`

  • `3/66`

  • `19/66`

  • `47/66`

MCQ

उत्तर

`47/66`

Explanation:

Given, Number of white balls = 3

Number of Black balls = 4

Number of Red balls = 5

Total no. of balls (ways) = 12

Total no. of ways of drawing 2 balls out of 12 balls

= 12C2

= `(12!)/(10!2!)`

= 66

Total no. of ways of drawing 2 balls of different colours

= 1 white 1 black + 1 black 1 red + 1 red 1 white

= 3C1 × 4C1 + 4C1 × 5C1 + 5C1 × 3C1

= 3 × 4 + 4 × 5 + 5 × 3

= 47

So, the probability of drawing 2 balls of different colours

= `47/66`
