The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of transferring balls between two urns, we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Balls in Each Urn**: - Urn A contains 3 distinct red balls: R1, R2, R3. - Urn B contains 9 distinct blue balls: 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 do this 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. - Thus, the number of ways to choose 2 balls from 3 is: \[ \binom{3}{2} = \frac{3!}{2!(3-2)!} = \frac{3 \times 2 \times 1}{2 \times 1 \times 1} = 3 \] 3. **Choose 2 Balls from Urn B**: - Next, we need to select 2 balls from the 9 blue balls in Urn B. Using the combination formula again: - The number of ways to choose 2 balls from 9 is: \[ \binom{9}{2} = \frac{9!}{2!(9-2)!} = \frac{9 \times 8}{2 \times 1} = 36 \] 4. **Calculate the Total Number of Ways**: - Since the selections from both urns are independent, we multiply the number of ways to choose from Urn A and Urn B: \[ \text{Total ways} = \binom{3}{2} \times \binom{9}{2} = 3 \times 36 = 108 \] 5. **Conclusion**: - The total number of ways in which 2 balls can be taken out from each urn and transferred to the other is **108**. ### Final Answer: The number of ways in which this can be done is **108**. ---
