Question Detail
A bag contains 2 white balls, 3 black balls and 4 red balls. In how many ways can 3 balls be drawn from the bag, if at least one black ball is to be included in the draw
- 64
- 128
- 132
- 222
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
From 2 white balls, 3 black balls and 4 red balls, 3 balls are to be selected such that
at least one black ball should be there.
Hence we have 3 choices
All three are black
Two are black and one is non black
One is black and two are non black
Total number of ways
= 3C3 + (3C2 x 6C1) + (3C1 x 6C2) [because 6 are non black]
\begin{aligned}
= 1 + \left[3 \times 6 \right] + \left[3 \times \left(\dfrac{6 \times 5}{2 \times 1}\right) \right]
= 1 + 18 + 45
= 64
\end{aligned}
