एका पिशवीमध्ये 2 लाल, 3 हिरवे आणि 2 निळे चेंडू आहेत. जर यादृच्छिकतेने दोन चेंडू काढले तर त्यात एकही चेंडू निळा नसण्याची संभाव्यता किती?

1)2/7
2)11/21
3)10/21✓ Correct
4)5/7

Total balls = 7 (2 red, 3 green, 2 blue). Non-blue balls = 5 (2 red + 3 green). Probability of drawing 2 non-blue balls is C(5,2) / C(7,2).

एका पिशवीमध्ये 3 पांढरे, 2 निळे व 5 लाल चेंडू आहेत. जर यादृच्छिक पद्धतीने पिशवीमधून 1 चेंडू जर काढला, तर काढलेला चेंडू लाल नाही, याची संभाव्य्ता किती आहे ?

a)(1) 4/5
b)(2) 3/10
c)(3) 1/5
d)(4) 1/2✓ Correct

Total balls = 3 (white) + 2 (blue) + 5 (red) = 10 balls. The probability of getting a red ball is 5/10 = 1/2. Therefore, the probability of not getting a red ball is 1 - 1/2 = 1/2.
