A box contains `3` orange balls, `3` green balls and `2` blue balls. Three balls are drawn at random from the box without replacement. The probability of drawing `2` green balls and one blue ball is

A

a) `(167)/(168)`

B

b) `(1)/(28)`

C

c) `(2)/(21)`

D

d) `(3)/(28)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d) `(3)/(28)`

Probability of drawing `2G` balls and `1B` balls:

`=P(G)*P(G)*P(B)+P(B)*P(G)*P(G)+P(G)*P(B)*P(G)`

`=3/8*2/7*2/6+2/8*3/7*2/6+3/8*2/7*2/6`

`=3/28`


Hence, correct option is d)
