A bag contains8balls, whose colours are either white or black.4balls are drawn at random without replacement and it was found that2balls are white and other2balls are black. The probability that the bag contains equal number of white and black balls is:

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Total Possible cases of balls in the bag could be:

2W,6B,3W,5B,4W,4B,5W,3B,6W,2B

The favourable case is to choose 2W and 2B from the bag having 4W,4B

So, the required probability is given by

PE=C24×C24C28C22×C26C28+C23×C25C28+C24×C24C28+C25×C23C28+C26×C22C28

PE=6×615+3×10+36+30+15

PE=36126

PE=27
