A bag contains 7 green and 5 black balls. 3 balls are drawn at random one after the other. If the balls are not replaced, then the probability of all three balls being green is

  • A
    3431720
  • B
    2136
  • C
    1235
  • Correct answer
    D
    744

Solution

Given,

A bag contains 7 green and 5 black balls,

Now 3 balls are drawn at random one after the other, so number of ways in which we can get green ball without replacement will be C17×C16×C15=7×6×5

Now total ways of selecting 3 balls without replacement will be C112×C111×C110=12×11×10

Now the probability of all three balls being green is 7×6×512×11×10=744

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
