Question

An urn contains 10 black and 5 white balls. Two balls are drawn from the urn one after the other without replacement. What is the probability that both drawn balls are black?

A.

27\frac{2}7​​

B.

37\frac{3}7​​

C.

47\frac{4}7​​

D.

57\frac{5}7​​

Correct option is B

GIVEN:
A = A black ball in the first draw
B = A black ball in the second draw
Solution:
Now,
P(A)= 1015=23\frac{10}{15}=\frac{2}3​​
P(B/A) =  914\frac{9}{14}​​
Required probability = P(A∩B) = P(A) × P (B/A)
=  23×914\frac{2}3× \frac{9}{14}​​

37\frac{3}7​​
