      Question

      A bowl contains 9 blue balls, 7 white, and 5 black

      balls. If 2 balls are drawn in one go, then the probability of exactly one ball being blue is:
      A 7/15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 6/35 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 18/35 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 5/33 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      In total, we have 9+7+5=21 balls. We have drawn 2 balls; we can draw them in 21C2 ways = 21! Γ· (19! Γ—2!) = 210 ways. In those two balls, we need one to be a blue ball, so we can include that in 9C1 ways = 9 ways. The remaining ball may be any color ball but not white, so we select other balls in 12C1 ways= 12ways. Probability= (9Γ—12)/210 =18/35.
