Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:
A bag contains 5 red and 3 blue balls. If 3 balls are drawn at random without replacement, then the probability that exactly two of the three balls were red, the first ball being red, is

C. 15/28 D. 5/28

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Total Blue Balls = 3

M = Event getting Red ball

N = Event getting Blue ball

Now,

P(Getting exactly 2 red balls of 3 balls, the first ball being red) →

→ (Since 1^st ball is already red, P(red ball) = and so on..)
