Correct Answer - C Consider the following events : A=Getting a white ball in first draw, B=Getting a black ball in second draw. Required probability =Probability of getting a white ball in first draw and a black ball in second draw ⇒ ⇒ Required probability = P ( A ∩ B ) = ⇒ ⇒ Required probability = ( P ( A ) P ( B / A ) = Now, P ( A ) = . 10 C 1 . 25 C 1 = 10 25 = 2 5 P and, P ( B / A ) P =Probability of getting a black ball in second draw when a white ball has already been in first draw ⇒ P ( B / A ) = . 15 C 1 . 24 C 1 = 15 24 = 5 8 ⇒ ∴ ∴ Required probability = 2 5 × 5 8 = 1 4 = .
