A bag contains 12 white and 18 red balls. Two balls are drawn in succession without replacement. The probability that the first is red and the second is white is:

  1. A \(\frac{63}{145}\)
  2. B \(\frac{36}{154}\)
  3. C \(\frac{36}{144}\)
  4. D \(\frac{36}{145}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{36}{145}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P(\text{1st Red}) = \frac{18}{30}\) \(P(\text{2nd White}|\text{1st Red}) = \frac{12}{29}\) \(P(\text{1st Red and 2nd White}) = \frac{18}{30} \times \frac{12}{29} = \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{12}{29} = \frac{36}{145}\)
