    In a box, there are 8 red, 7 blue and 6 green bails. One ball is picked up randomly. What is the probability that it is neither red nor green?

    A) \[\frac{2}{3}\]

    B) \[\frac{3}{4}\]

    C) \[\frac{7}{19}\]

    D) \[\frac{8}{21}\]

    E) None of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Explanation Option (d) is correct. Total number of balls = (8 + 7 + 6) = 21 Let E = event that the ball drawn is neither red nor green = event that the ball drawn is red. \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,n\,(E)=8\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,P\,(E)=\frac{8}{21}.\]
