A bag contains 6 blue and 6 green balls. Pairs of balls are drawn without replacement until the bag is empty. The probability that each drawn pair consists of one blue and one green ball is :

  1. A \(\dfrac{63}{925}\)
  2. B \(\dfrac{17}{231}\)
  3. C \(\dfrac{16}{231}\)
  4. D \(\dfrac{64}{925}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\dfrac{16}{231}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The probability that the first pair drawn consists of one blue and one green ball is: \(P_1 = \dfrac{^{6}C_{1} \times ^{6}C_{1}}{^{12}C_{2}} = \dfrac{36}{66} = \dfrac{6}{11}\) Since the balls are drawn without replacement, \(5\) blue and \(5\) green balls remain. The probability…
