Q:

A room contains 3 brown, 5 black and 4 white chairs. Two chairs are picked and are put in the lawn. What is the probability that none of the chairs picked is white ?

A) 14/33 B) 14/55
C) 12/55 D) 13/33
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 14/33

Explanation:

Total number of chairs = (3 + 5 + 4) = 12.

Let S be the sample space.

Then, n(s)= Number of ways of picking 2 chairs out of 12

= 12×11/2×1 = 66

Let n(E) = number of events of selecting 2 chairs for selecting no white chairs.

=> 8C2 = 8×7/2×1 = 28

Therefore required probability = 28/66 = 14/33.
