Given: 3 red and 2 black balls.

Probability of getting red ball `=P(R)=\frac{3}{5}`

Probability of getting black ball `=P(B)=\frac{2}{5}`

(l) Two red balls

P( getting two getting red balls )`=P(R)\times\P(R)`

`=\frac{3}{5} \times\frac{3}{5}=\frac{9}{25`}

(II) Two black balls

P( getting two black balls )`=P(B)\times\ P(B)`
