    A bag contains 3 red, 5 black and 7 white balls. A ball is drawn from the bag at random. The probability that the ball drawn is not black, is

    A) \[\frac{1}{3}\]

    B) \[\frac{9}{15}\]

    C) \[\frac{5}{10}\]

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

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Total number of balls in a bag =3+5
    \[\therefore \] Total number of possible outcomes is 15.
    The number of favourable outcomes of drawing non-black ball is 10.
    \[\therefore \]Required probability
    \[=\frac{Number\text{ }of\text{ }favourable\text{ }outcomes}{Total\text{ }number\text{ }of\text{ }possible\text{ }outcomes}=\frac{10}{15}=\frac{2}{3}\]
