    Bag A contains 3 red, 4 black, 8 blue and 5 yellow balls.

    Bag B contains 5 red, 2 black, 4 blue and 3 yellow balls. Find the probability of drawing 2 blue balls and 1 red ball from either of the bag.
    A 1784/31260 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2133/33420 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2699/34580 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 15340/3320 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Probability of selecting one bag = 1/2

    Probability of drawing 2 blue balls and 1 red ball from bag A = ( 8 c 2  x  3 c 1 )/ 20 c 3 = (28 x 3)/1140 = 7/95

    Probability of drawing 2 blue balls and 1 red ball from bag B = ( 4 c 2  x  5 c 1 )/ 14 c 3 = (6 x 5)/364 = 15/182

    Required probability = ½ x (7/95 + 15/182)

    = 7/190 + 15/364 = (1274 + 1425)/34580 = 2699/34580
