Q:

A box contains 5 green, 4 yellow and 5 white pearls. Four pearls are drawn at random. What is the probability that they are not of the same colour ?

A)  11/91

B)  4/11

C)  1/11

D) 90/91

A) Option A B) Option B
C) Option C D) Option D
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Option D

Explanation:

Let S be the sample space. Then,
n(s) = number of ways of drawing 4 pearls out of 14


= C414 ways = 14×13×12×114×3×2×1= 1001


Let E be the event of drawing 4 pearls of the same colour.
Then, E = event of drawing (4 pearls out of 5) or (4 pearls out of 4) or (4 pearls out of 5)

  ⇒C15+ C44+ C15 = 5+1+5 =11

 P(E) = n(E)n(S)=111001=191  

 

 Required probability = 1-191=9091
