A bag contains 4 white, 5 red and 6 blue balls. Three balls are drawn at random from the bag. The probability that all of them are red, is:

$ \dfrac{1}{22} $
$ \dfrac{3}{22} $
$ \dfrac{2}{91} $
$ \dfrac{2}{77} $
Explanation:

Let S be the sample space.

Then, $ n \left(S\right)$ = number of ways of drawing 3 balls out of 15

= 15C3

=$ \dfrac{(15 \times 14 \times 13)}{(3 \times 2 \times 1)} $

= 455.

Let E = event of getting all the 3 red balls.

$\therefore n \left(E\right)$ = 5C3 = 5C2 =$ \dfrac{(5 \times 4)}{(2 \times 1)} $= 10.

$\therefore P\left(E\right)$ =$ \dfrac{n(E)}{n(S)} $=$ \dfrac{10}{455} $=$ \dfrac{2}{91} $.
