According to question,
`Rightarrow` Bag A=(4 R+5 B) balls
`Rightarrow` Bag B =(3 R+7 B) balls
`Rightarrow` Probability of both are red balls `=frac{4}{9} times frac{3}{10}=frac{12}{90}`
`Rightarrow` Probability of both are black balls `=frac{7}{10} times frac{5}{9}=frac{35}{90}`
`Rightarrow` P(balls of same colours )=P( Both red )+P (Both black)
`=frac{12}{90}+frac{35}{90}`/
