The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the probability that both balls drawn from the two urns are of the same color. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the contents of each urn:** - Urn 1 contains: 1 Black Ball (B) and 1 Green Ball (G). - Urn 2 contains: 1 White Ball (W) and 1 Green Ball (G). 2. **List all possible outcomes when drawing one ball from each urn:** - From Urn 1, we can draw either: - B (Black) - G (Green) - From Urn 2, we can draw either: - W (White) - G (Green) The possible combinations of draws from both urns are: - (B, W) - (B, G) - (G, W) - (G, G) 3. **Determine which outcomes have balls of the same color:** - The pairs of balls drawn that are of the same color are: - (G, G) - both are Green. 4. **Count the total outcomes and favorable outcomes:** - Total outcomes = 4 (as listed above). - Favorable outcomes = 1 (only (G, G)). 5. **Calculate the probability:** \[ \text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{1}{4} \] ### Final Answer: The probability that both balls drawn are of the same color is \( \frac{1}{4} \). ---
