The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the probability of drawing 2 balls such that none of them is red. Let's break down the information provided step by step. ### Step 1: Define Variables Let: - \( R \) = number of red balls - \( G \) = number of green balls - \( W \) = number of white balls ### Step 2: Use the Given Probability of White Balls The probability of drawing 1 white ball from the bag is given as \( \frac{1}{3} \). This can be expressed as: \[ \frac{W}{R + G + W} = \frac{1}{3} \] Cross-multiplying gives us: \[ 3W = R + G + W \] Simplifying this, we get: \[ 2W = R + G \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] ### Step 3: Use the Given Probability of Green Balls If there were 6 more red balls, the probability of getting 1 green ball would have been \( \frac{1}{30} \). This can be expressed as: \[ \frac{G}{R + 6 + G + W} = \frac{1}{30} \] Cross-multiplying gives us: \[ 30G = R + 6 + G + W \] Rearranging this, we get: \[ 29G = R + W + 6 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 4: Use the Given Probability of Green Balls Again We are also given that the probability of drawing 1 green ball from the bag is \( \frac{1}{5} \): \[ \frac{G}{R + G + W} = \frac{1}{5} \] Cross-multiplying gives us: \[ 5G = R + G + W \] Rearranging gives us: \[ 4G = R + W \quad \text{(Equation 3)} \] ### Step 5: Solve the Equations Now we have three equations: 1. \( 2W = R + G \) (Equation 1) 2. \( 29G = R + W + 6 \) (Equation 2) 3. \( 4G = R + W \) (Equation 3) From Equation 3, we can express \( R \) in terms of \( G \) and \( W \): \[ R = 4G - W \quad \text{(Substituting into Equation 1)} \] Substituting \( R \) into Equation 1: \[ 2W = (4G - W) + G \] This simplifies to: \[ 2W = 5G - W \] Adding \( W \) to both sides gives: \[ 3W = 5G \quad \Rightarrow \quad W = \frac{5}{3}G \] ### Step 6: Substitute Back to Find R Substituting \( W \) back into Equation 3: \[ 4G = R + \frac{5}{3}G \] This gives: \[ R = 4G - \frac{5}{3}G = \frac{12G - 5G}{3} = \frac{7G}{3} \] ### Step 7: Calculate the Total Number of Balls Now we can express the total number of balls: \[ Total = R + G + W = \frac{7G}{3} + G + \frac{5G}{3} = \frac{7G + 3G + 5G}{3} = \frac{15G}{3} = 5G \] ### Step 8: Find the Probability of Drawing 2 Balls that are Not Red The probability of drawing 2 balls such that none of them is red is given by: \[ P(\text{not red}) = \frac{G + W}{Total} = \frac{G + \frac{5}{3}G}{5G} = \frac{\frac{8G}{3}}{5G} = \frac{8}{15} \] ### Final Answer The probability of drawing 2 balls such that none of them is red is: \[ \frac{8}{15} \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the probability of drawing 2 balls such that none of them is red. Let's break down the information provided step by step. ### Step 1: Define Variables Let: - \( R \) = number of red balls - \( G \) = number of green balls - \( W \) = number of white balls ...
