Q:

A bag contains 4 white, 5 red and 6 blue balls. Three balls are drawn at random from the bag. The probability that all of them are red, is:

A) 2/91 B) 1/22
C) 3/22 D) 2/77
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 2/91

Explanation:

Let S be the sample space.

Then, n(S) = number of ways of drawing 3 balls out of 15 = 15C3  =15*14*133*2*1= 455.  

Let E = event of getting all the 3 red balls.

 n(E) = 5C3 = 5*42*1 = 10.

 => P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 10/455 = 2/91.
