Question
A bag contains 3 white, 4 red and 5 black balls. One ball is drawn at random. What is the probability that the ball drawn is neither black nor white?
Options
`1/4`
`1/2`
`1/3`
`3/4`
Solution
`1/3`
Explanation:
Total possible outcomes = Total number of balls = ( 3 + 4 + 5) = 12
Total number of balls that are non-black and non-white = 4
∴ P (getting a ball that is neither black nor white) = `4/12 = 1/3`
