Answer» Answer: Since, TOTAL no. of balls = 7+5+3 = 15 (i) No. of balls that are red or white = 7+5 = 12 ∴ Required probability = 15 12
= 5 4
(ii) No. of balls that are not BLACK = 7+5 = 12 ∴ Required probability = 15 12
= 5 4
(III) No. of balls that are neither white nor black = 7 ∴ Required probability = 15 7 |
