Question:

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

  1. 64
  2. 128
  3. 132
  4. 128

Correct Answer: 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

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]

=1+[3×6]+[3×(6× 5 2 ×1)]=1+18+45=64
