A box contains twelve balls of which 4 are red, 5 are green and 3 are white. If three balls are drawn at random simultaneously from the box, then the probability that exactly 2 balls have the same colour is

  1. A \(\frac{27}{44}\)
  2. B \(\frac{29}{44}\)
  3. C \(\frac{17}{22}\)
  4. D \(\frac{31}{44}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{29}{44}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total ways to draw 3 balls: \( \binom{12}{3} = \frac{12 \times 11 \times 10}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 220 \) Ways to draw exactly 2 balls of the same color (2R1G + 2R1W + 2G1R + 2G1W + 2W1R + 2W1G):…
