In a box, there are 8 red, 7 blue and 6 green balls. One ball is picked up randomly. What is the probability that it is neither red nor green?

A 1/3

B 3/5

C 8/21

D 7/21

Solution

Correct Answer: Option A

Total number of balls = (8 + 7 + 6) = 21.

Let E = event that the ball drawn is neither red nor green 

            = event that the ball drawn is blue.

n(E) = 7.

P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 7/21 = 1/3.
