    Question

    A bag contains ‘x’ blue balls and 9 yellow balls. If

    the probability of getting a blue ball is 3/4, then find the probability of getting different coloured balls when two balls are drawn randomly from the bag.
    A 13/35 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 19/52 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 27/70 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 21/64 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 3/8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    x/(x + 9) = 3/4
    → 4x = 3x + 27 → x = 27
    Total balls = 36
    P = (27C1 × 9C1)/(36C2) = (27×9)/630 = 243/630 = 27/70
