Q.

In a box, there are 8 red, 7 blue and 6 green balls. One ball is picked up randomly. What is the probability that it is neither red nor green?

View Answer

Correct choice: A

Explanation:

Total number of balls = (8 + 7 + 6) = 21. Let E = event that the ball drawn is neither red nor green = event that the ball drawn is blue. n(E) = 7. P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 7/21 = 1/3.
