      A 2/5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 1/4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 1/3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 3/7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Two balls can be drawn from 12 balls in  12 C 2  ways.

      The number of ways of drawing two balls of the same

      Colour =  6 C 2  +  4 C 2  +  2 C 2  = 15 + 6 + 1

      ∴ The required probability = 22/ 12 C 2  = (22*2)/(12*11) = 1/3
