A carton contains 12 green and 8 blue bulbs .2 bulbs are drawn at random. Find the probability that they are of same colour. A) 91/47 B) 47/105 C) 47/95 D) 95/47

Description :  A carton contains 12 green and 8 blue bulbs .2 bulbs are drawn at random. Find the probability that they are of same colour. A) 91/47 B) 47/105 C) 47/95 D) 95/47

Last Answer : Answer: C) Let S be the sample space Then n(S) = no of ways of drawing 2 bulbs out of (12+8) = 20c2=20*19/2*1=190 Let E = event of getting both bulbs of same colour Then, n(E) = no of ways (2 bulbs out of 12) ... 12C2+ 8C2=(132/2)+(56/2) = 66+28 = 94 Therefore, P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 94/190 = 47/95
