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) $\frac{5}{256}$

(2) $\frac{5}{715}$

(3) $\frac{3}{715}$

(4) $\frac{3}{256}$

Show Answer

Answer (3)

Solution

$\frac{{ }^{6} \mathrm{C}{4}}{{ }^{15} \mathrm{C}{4}} \times \frac{{ }^{9} \mathrm{C}{4}}{{ }^{11} \mathrm{C}{4}}=\frac{3}{715}$

Hence option (3) is correct.
