Text Solution

Verified by Experts

There are total `15` balls and red balls are `7`.
`:.` Probability that first ball is not red `= 8/15`.
Now, there are `14` total balls and `7` balls are not red.
`:.` Probability of drawing second ball that is not red `= 7/14 = 1/2`
Now, there are `13` total balls and `6` balls are not red.
`:.` Probability of drawing third ball that is not red `= 6/13`
`:.` Required probability `= 8/15**1/2**6/13 = 8/65 `
