    Question

    A bag contains 5 brown balls, 6 white balls and 9 red

    balls. Three balls are drawn at random. Find the probability that at least two balls are red.
    A (8/19) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B (10/57) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C (5/38) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D (6/57) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total = 5 + 6 + 9 = 20
    Required probability = (Two red and one other) + (Three red)

    = 3 × [(9/20) × (8/19) × (11/18)] + (9/20 × 8/19 × 7/18)
    = (2376/6840) + (504/6840)
    = (2880/6840) = (24/57)
