A bag contains 6 white and 4 black balls. A die is rolled once and the number of balls equal to the number obtained on the die are drawn from the bag at random. The probability that all the balls drawn are white is :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
-
Let the number obtained on the die be .
Since a fair die is rolled once, each of occurs with probability .
-
If balls are drawn, the probability that all are white is because there are white balls out of total balls.
-
Hence the required probability is
