Options
- A268 693
- B310 693
- C38 99
- D26 63
Correct answer
D. 26 63
Step-by-step solution
Bag A has 3 white and 4 red balls. Bag B has 4 white and 5 red balls. Bag C has 5 white and 6 red balls. Case I : Probability that white ball is from Bag A= 3 7 5 9 6 11 = 90 693 Case II : Probability that white ball is from Bag B= 4 7 4 9 6 11 = 96 693 Case III : Probability that white ball is from Bag C = 4 7 5 9 5 11 = 100 693 Required probability = 90 693 + 96 693 + 100 693 = 26 63 .
