Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2024

An urn contains 6 white and 9 black balls. Two successive draws of 4 balls are made without replacement. The probability, that the first draw gives all white balls and the second draw gives all black balls, is :

  1. A $\frac{3}{256}$
  2. B $\frac{5}{256}$
  3. C $\frac{3}{715}$ Correct answer
  4. D $\frac{5}{715}$

Solution

<p>$$\frac{{ }^6 \mathrm{C}_4}{{ }^{15} \mathrm{C}_4} \times \frac{{ }^9 \mathrm{C}_4}{{ }^{11} \mathrm{C}_4}=\frac{3}{715}$$</p> <p>Hence option (3) is correct.</p>
