    Out of 36 balls in a bag, some are black and the rest

    are white in the ratio 7:5. Two balls are drawn randomly without putting back the first one. What is the probability that both drawn balls are of the same colour?
    A 5/7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2/37 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1/2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3/14 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ.

    The number of black balls = 36 Γ— (7/12) = 21 The number of white balls = 36 - 21 = 15 So, the probability that both the balls are black = {Β²ΒΉCβ‚‚ / ³⁢Cβ‚‚} So, the probability that both the balls are white = {¹⁡Cβ‚‚ / ³⁢Cβ‚‚} So, required probability = {Β²ΒΉCβ‚‚ / ³⁢Cβ‚‚} + {¹⁡Cβ‚‚ / ³⁢Cβ‚‚} = (210 + 105) / 630 = 315/630 = 1/2
