JEE Advanced Mathematics Question (2024) — Solution

Question

A bag contains N balls out of which 3 balls are white, 6 balls are green, and the remaining balls are blue. Assume that the balls are identical otherwise. Three balls are drawn randomly one after the other without replacement. For i=1,2,3, let W_i, G_i, and B_i denote the events that the ball drawn in the i^ th draw is a white ball, green ball, and blue ball, respectively. If the probability P (W_1 G_2 B_3 )= 2 5 N and the conditional probability P (B_3 W_1 G_2 )= 2 9 , then N equals ________.

Options

  1. A. A
  2. B. B
  3. C. C
  4. D. D

Answer

A. A

Step-by-step solution

Given P ( W _1 G _2 B _3 )= 2 5 ~N and P ( B _3 W _1 G _2 )= 2 9 aligned & P ( B _3 W _1 G _2 ) P ( W _1 G _2 ) = 2 9 \\ & 2 5 ~N N ( N -1) 3 6 = 2 9 \\ & N =11 aligned
