    A 11/56 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 3/44 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 6/55 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 24/5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Probability of picking all 3 pink balls = ⁶Cā‚ƒ Ć· ¹²Cā‚ƒ Probability of picking all 3 black balls = ²Cā‚ƒ Ć· ¹²Cā‚ƒ (Note: ²Cā‚ƒ = 0 since we can't choose 3 from 2) Probability of picking all 3 orange balls = ⁓Cā‚ƒ Ć· ¹²Cā‚ƒ Required probability = (⁶Cā‚ƒ + ⁓Cā‚ƒ) Ć· ¹²Cā‚ƒ = (20 + 4) Ć· 220 = (24/220) = 6/55
