A bag containing 5 red and 3 blue balls. If 3 balls are drawn at random without replacement the probability that exactly two of the three balls were red, the first being red is

A

`1/3`

B

`4/7`

C

`15/28`

D

`5/28`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let `E_(1)`=Event that first ball being red
and `E_(2)`= Event that exactly tw of the three balls being red
`therefore P_(E_(1))=P_(R)cdotP_(R)cdotP_(R)+P_(R)cdotP_(R)cdotP_(barR)+P_(R)cdotP_(barR)cdotP_(R)+P_(R)cdotP_(barR)cdotP_(barR)`
