Options
- A4 9
- B13 30
- C11 30
- D17 30
Correct answer
D. 17 30
Step-by-step solution
Given that urn contain 7 white, 6 red, 8 black balls. Two balls are drawn one after the other without replacement, then following condition are there to get at least one of them is white (a) First White, second non-white So, required probability = 7 21 14 20 (b) First non-white, second white So, required probability = 14 21 7 20 (c) Both are white = 7 21 6 20 Required probability is = 7 21 14 20 + 14 21 7 20 + 7 21 6 20 = 17 30 .
