There are 3 bags A, B and C . Bag A contains 2 white and 3 black balls, bag B contains 4 white and 2 black balls and Bag C contains 3 white and 2 black balls. If a ball is drawn at random from a randomly chosen bag, then the probability that the ball drawn is black, is
Options
- A2 3
- B4 9
- C5 9
- D1 9
Correct answer
B. 4 9
Step-by-step solution
Given that A has 2 white, 3 black balls, B has 4 white and 2 black balls and C has 3 white and 2 black balls. Let event of drawing black ball from bags A, B and C= 1 3 Required probability = Probability of black ball from bag A + Probability of black ball from bag B + Probability of black ball from bag C aligned & = 1 3 3 5 + 1 3 2 6 + 1 3 2 5 = 3 15 + 2 18 + 2 15 & = 1 5 + 1 9 + 2 15 = 9+5+6 45 = 20 45 = 4 9 aligned
