The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to calculate the probability that after drawing 3 balls from a bag containing red, green, and blue balls, all drawn balls are of different colors. ### Step 1: Understand the initial setup Initially, the bag contains: - 3 Red balls - 3 Green balls Total = 6 balls ### Step 2: Draw 3 balls from the bag We need to consider the different combinations of drawing 3 balls from the initial 6. The total ways to choose 3 balls from 6 is calculated using the combination formula: \[ \text{Total ways to choose 3 balls} = \binom{6}{3} = \frac{6!}{3!(6-3)!} = 20 \] ### Step 3: Add 3 Blue balls to the bag After drawing 3 balls, the person adds 3 Blue balls to the bag. The composition of the bag now depends on the colors of the balls drawn. ### Step 4: Calculate the cases for drawing balls of different colors We want to find the probability that the next 3 balls drawn are one of each color (1 Red, 1 Green, and 1 Blue). #### Case Analysis 1. **Case 1**: 1 Red, 1 Green, and 1 Blue - The number of ways to choose 1 Red from the remaining 2 Red, 1 Green from the remaining 2 Green, and 1 Blue from the 3 Blue: \[ \text{Ways} = \binom{2}{1} \times \binom{2}{1} \times \binom{3}{1} = 2 \times 2 \times 3 = 12 \] 2. **Case 2**: 2 Red and 1 Green - The number of ways to choose 2 Red from the remaining 2 Red, and 1 Green from the remaining 2 Green: \[ \text{Ways} = \binom{2}{2} \times \binom{2}{1} \times \binom{3}{0} = 1 \times 2 \times 1 = 2 \] 3. **Case 3**: 1 Red and 2 Green - The number of ways to choose 1 Red from the remaining 2 Red, and 2 Green from the remaining 2 Green: \[ \text{Ways} = \binom{2}{1} \times \binom{2}{2} \times \binom{3}{0} = 2 \times 1 \times 1 = 2 \] ### Step 5: Total ways to draw 3 balls after adding Blue The total ways to choose 3 balls from the bag after adding 3 Blue balls (total 9 balls now): \[ \text{Total ways to choose 3 balls} = \binom{9}{3} = 84 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the probability The total favorable outcomes for drawing 1 Red, 1 Green, and 1 Blue are from Case 1, which is 12. Thus, the probability \( P \) that the 3 balls drawn are all of different colors is given by: \[ P = \frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{12}{84} = \frac{2}{14} = \frac{1}{7} \] ### Step 7: Convert to percentage To convert the probability into a percentage: \[ P = \frac{1}{7} \times 100 \approx 14.29\% \] ### Conclusion The probability that the 3 balls drawn are all of different colors is approximately 14.29%. Since this does not match any of the provided options, we can conclude that the calculations may need to be verified or the options may have been misrepresented.

To solve the problem step by step, we need to calculate the probability that after drawing 3 balls from a bag containing red, green, and blue balls, all drawn balls are of different colors. ### Step 1: Understand the initial setup Initially, the bag contains: - 3 Red balls - 3 Green balls Total = 6 balls ...
