      Question

      In a yellow box there are 5 red, 6 green, and 4 yellow

      balls while in a blue box there are 3 red, 7 green, and 5 yellow balls. One ball is drawn at random from the combined balls of both boxes. Find the probability that it is a green ball from the yellow box.
      A 2/11 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 1/11 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 1/5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 3/11 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 7/33 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Total balls in yellow box = 5 + 6 + 4 = 15
      Total balls in blue box = 3 + 7 + 5 = 15
      Total balls combined = 15 + 15 = 30
      Probability ball is from yellow box = 15/30 = 1/2
      Probability ball is green given yellow box = 6/15 = 2/5
      Required probability = (1/2) × (2/5) = 2/10 = 1/5
