Find the probability that one ball is white when two balls are drawn at random from a basket that contains 9 red, 7 white and 4 black balls.
Correct Answer: Option D
Total number of elementary events = \(20C_2\) ways =190
There are 7 white balls out of which one white can be drawn in 7 C1 ways and one ball from remaining 13 balls can be drawn in \(13C_1\) ways
So,favourable events = \(7C_1\times13C_1\)
Therfore,required probability = \(\frac{7C_1\times13C_1}{20C_2}\) = 91/90
