Options
- A343 1720
- B21 36
- C12 35
- D7 44
Correct answer
D. 7 44
Step-by-step solution
Given, A bag contains 7 green and 5 black balls, Now 3 balls are drawn at random one after the other, so number of ways in which we can get green ball without replacement will be C 1 7 × C 1 6 × C 1 5 = 7 × 6 × 5 Now total ways of selecting 3 balls without replacement will be C 1 12 × C 1 11 × C 1 10 = 12 × 11 × 10 Now the probability of all three balls being green is 7 × 6 × 5 12 × 11 × 10 = 7 44
