Few Important things to Remember
We all know that the most important thing in competitive exams is Mathematics. That doesn’t mean that other sections are not so important. You can get a good score only if you get a good score in math section. Only practice and practice can give you a good score. All you need to do is to do math problems correctly within time, and you can do this only by using shortcut tricks. Again it does not mean that you can’t do maths without using shortcut tricks. You may have that potential that you may do maths within time without using any shortcut tricks.
But, other peoples may not do the same. So Probability problem on Balls shortcut tricks here for those people. We always try to put all shortcut methods of the given topic. But we may miss few of them. If you know anything else rather than this please do share with us. Your help will help others.
Here is some Probability on Balls Examples are given, Before going through this examples u should remember all probability formula and fact that are required here for solved the Example, Let do the Problems on Probability on Balls.
Example #1 – Probability problem on Balls
A bag contains 8 white balls and 6 black balls. If we taken out two random balls from that bag, then find the probability that they are of the same color?
- 22 / 91
- 28 / 91
- 34 / 91
- 43 / 91

Here S be the sample space.
So, n(S) = Number of ways of taken out balls of,
( 8 + 6 ) = 14
so, 14c2
or, ( 14 x 13 ) / ( 2 x 1 )
or, 182 / 2
therefore, 91.
E = Event of getting both balls of the same color.
Then, n(E) = Number of ways of drawing ( 2 balls out of 8 ) or ( 2 balls out of 6 )
so, ( 8C2 + 6C2 )
then, 8 x 7 / 2 x 1 + 6 x 5 / 2 x 1
then, 56 / 2 + 30 / 2
or, 28 + 15
therefore, 43.
P(E) = n(E) / n(S)
= 43 / 91.
Example #2 – Probability problem on Balls
A bag contain 4 red balls, 6 yellow balls. If 3 balls are drawn randomly, then what is the probability that they are of the same color?
- 1 / 5
- 2 / 5
- 3 / 5
- 4 / 7
Show Answer Show How to Solve Open Rough Workspace
p(E) = n(E) / n(S)
= 4C3 + 6C3 / 10C3
( 4 x 3 x 2 / 3 + 6 x 5 x 4 / 3 ) / 10 x 9 x 8 / 3
or, 8 + 40 / 240
or, 48 / 240
therefore, 1 / 5.
Example #3 – Probability problem on Balls
A bag contain 4 red balls, 6 yellow balls and 5 green balls. If 3 balls are drawn randomly , then what is the probability that the balls drawn is exactly two green balls?
- 2 / 11
- 3 / 11
- 4 / 11
- 5 / 11
Show Answer Show How to Solve Open Rough Workspace
2 green balls can be selected from 5 green balls and the remaining one ball select from (15 – 5) = 10 balls in 8C1 ways.
n(E) = 5C2 x 8C1
= 10 x 8
= 80.
So, P(E) = 80 / 220
= 4 / 11.
Example #4 – Probability problem on Balls
A bag contain 4 red balls, 6 yellow balls and 5 green balls. If 3 balls are drawn randomly, then what is the probability that the balls drawn contain balls of different colors?
- 19 / 91
- 24 / 91
- 29 / 91
- 32 / 91
Show Answer Show How to Solve Open Rough Workspace
Total number of balls = 4 + 6 + 5 = 15.
n(S) = 15C3
= 15 x 14 x 13 / 3 x 2
= 455.
In order to get 3 different colored balls, one ball from each color,
n(E) =4C1 x 6C1 x 5C1
= 4 x 6 x 5
= 120
p(E) = 120 / 455
= 24 / 91.
Example #5 – Probability problem on Balls
A bag contain 2 red balls, 6 yellow balls and 4 green balls. If 3 balls are drawn randomly, then what is the probability that the balls drawn contain balls of different colors?
- 12 / 55
- 16 / 55
- 19 / 55
- 23 / 55
Show Answer Show How to Solve Open Rough Workspace
In order to have 3 different colored balls selection of one ball of different color is,
n(E) = 2C1 x 6C1 x 4C1
= 2 x 6 x 4
= 48.
p(E) = 48 / 220
= 12 / 55.
Example #6
A bag contain 2 red balls, 6 yellow balls and 4 green balls. If 3 balls are drawn randomly, then what is the probability that the balls drawn contain exactly two green balls?
- 34 / 55
- 38 / 55
- 42 / 55
- 44 / 55
Show Answer Show How to Solve Open Rough Workspace
2 green balls can be selected from 4 green balls in 4C2 way,
Rest 1 ball can be selected from remaining ( 12 – 4 ) = 8 balls in 8C1.
n(E) = 4C2 x 8C1
= 168
P(E) = 168 / 220
= 42 / 55.
Example #7
A bag contain 2 red balls, 6 yellow balls and 4 green balls. If 3 balls are drawn randomly, then what is the probability that the balls drawn contain no yellow ball?
- 1 / 11
- 2 / 11
- 3 / 11
- 4 / 11
Show Answer Show How to Solve Open Rough Workspace
3 balls can be selected from 2 red + 4 green = 6 balls in 6C3ways,
= 6 x 5 x 4 / 3 x 2
= 20.
p(E) = 20 / 220
= 1 / 11.

Example 2: : plz correct answer….if u r correct then plz explain…
thank u….
What is the formula of probability
Could someone explain example 2 again?
Is this divya ramakrishna?
unaku vera velai ilaya
3balls with same color means,
3red or 3 yellow
(4C3 + 6C3 )/10C3,
( 4 + 20)/120 == 24/120 == 2/10 == 1/5
example no 3
how it become 8C1… plz explain it
i have the same question…..it should be 10C1.
Same doubt
n(E) = 15c3
n(S) = 5cz * 10c1
P(E) = n(E)/n(S)
ans:100/455 =20/91
the ans should be 20/91
Example:: It should be 12/55
Explain me how to do these sums …pls fast
Sir ball ke math ka example 3 samhjmain nahi aya hai…. Explain please
pls explain eg.3
how 8c1 came
1000 different balls in a bucket. One can select 250 balls at once. What is the probability of picking a ball at least once after 4 different picks?
To Vignesh : this is done wrong there should be 10 and its answer should be 5/11
