पर्याय
`1/12`
`7/12`
`1/2`
`1/24`
उत्तर
`7/12`
Explanation:
Here,
In first Urn:
White ball = 2
Red balls = 4
∴ Total balls in first urn = 2 + 4 = 6 balls
In second Urn :
White balls = 3
Red balls = 9
∴ Total balls in second urn = 3 + 9 = 12 balls
∴ Required probability = `2/6 xx 3/12 + 4/6 xx 9/12 = 7/12`
