      A 6/17 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 20/51 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 5/17 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 17/51 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 4/17 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Number of ways of selecting two blue balls = 10 Cβ‚‚
      Total number of balls = 2 + 6 + 10 = 18
      Number of ways of selecting two balls = 18 Cβ‚‚
      Probability = 10 Cβ‚‚Γ· 18 Cβ‚‚ = (10 Γ— 9) Γ· (18 Γ— 17) = 90 Γ· 306 = 5/17
