      Question

      A bag contains โ€˜xโ€™ red balls and 2 green balls. If

      the probability of getting a red ball is 7/9, then find the probability of getting different coloured balls when two balls are drawn randomly from the bag.
      A 7/18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 5/16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 9/25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 3/10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      x/(x + 2) = 7/9
      โ†’ 9x = 7x + 14 โ†’ x = 7
      Total balls = 9
      P = (7C1 ร— 2C1)/(9C2) = (7ร—2)/36 = 14/36 = 7/18
