An urn contains 6 white and 9 black balls. Two successive draws of 4 balls are made without replacement. The probability, that the first draw gives all white balls and the second draw gives all black balls, is :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- Total balls in the urn
There are:
- white balls
- black balls
So total balls .
Two successive draws of balls each are made without replacement.
We need:
- first draw: all are white
- second draw: all are black
- Probability that first draw gives 4 white balls
Out of balls, we draw balls.
Number of ways to draw any balls:
Number of favorable ways to draw white balls from white balls:
So,
- Probability that second draw gives 4 black balls given first draw was all white
After drawing white balls, remaining balls are:
- white:
- black:
So remaining total balls .
Now second draw is of balls from these balls.
Number of ways to draw any balls:
Number of favorable ways to draw black balls from black balls:
Thus,
- Multiply the probabilities
Required probability:
Now compute values:
So,
Simplify:
Hence,
- Check the options
The required probability is:
So the correct option is: C.
