The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of transferring balls between two urns, we can break it down into clear steps. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Balls in Each Urn:** - Urn A contains 3 distinct red balls (let's denote them as R1, R2, R3). - Urn B contains 9 distinct blue balls (let's denote them as B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, B9). 2. **Choose 2 Balls from Urn A:** - We need to select 2 balls from the 3 red balls in Urn A. The number of ways to choose 2 balls from 3 is given by the combination formula \( \binom{n}{r} \), where \( n \) is the total number of items to choose from, and \( r \) is the number of items to choose. - Therefore, the number of ways to choose 2 balls from 3 is: \[ \binom{3}{2} = \frac{3!}{2!(3-2)!} = \frac{3!}{2! \cdot 1!} = \frac{3 \times 2 \times 1}{(2 \times 1) \cdot (1)} = 3 \] 3. **Choose 2 Balls from Urn B:** - Next, we choose 2 balls from the 9 blue balls in Urn B. The number of ways to choose 2 balls from 9 is: \[ \binom{9}{2} = \frac{9!}{2!(9-2)!} = \frac{9!}{2! \cdot 7!} = \frac{9 \times 8 \times 7!}{(2 \times 1) \cdot 7!} = \frac{9 \times 8}{2} = 36 \] 4. **Calculate the Total Number of Ways:** - Since the selections from each urn are independent, we multiply the number of ways to choose from Urn A and Urn B: \[ \text{Total Ways} = \binom{3}{2} \times \binom{9}{2} = 3 \times 36 = 108 \] ### Final Answer: The total number of ways in which the balls can be transferred between the two urns is **108**. ---
