    Seven balls are drawn simultaneoulsy from a bag containing 5 white and 6 green balls. The probability of drawing 3 white and 4 green balls is

    A)  \[\frac{7}{{{\,}^{11}}{{C}_{7}}}\]       

    B)         \[\frac{{{\,}^{5}}{{C}_{3}}+{{\,}^{6}}{{C}_{4}}}{{{\,}^{11}}{{C}_{7}}}\]          

    C)         \[\frac{{{\,}^{5}}{{C}_{2}}+{{\,}^{6}}{{C}_{2}}}{{{\,}^{11}}{{C}_{7}}}\]          

    D)         \[\frac{{{\,}^{6}}{{C}_{3}}+{{\,}^{5}}{{C}_{4}}}{{{\,}^{11}}{{C}_{7}}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Number of ways to get 3 white and 4 green balls from 5 white and 6 green balls \[={{\,}^{5}}{{C}_{3}}{{\times }^{6}}{{C}_{4}}{{=}^{5}}{{C}_{2}}{{\times }^{6}}{{C}_{2}}\] and total number of ways\[={{\,}^{11}}{{C}_{7}}\] \[\therefore \] Required probability                 \[=\frac{{{\,}^{5}}{{C}_{2}}\times {{\,}^{6}}{{C}_{2}}}{{{\,}^{11}}{{C}_{7}}}\]
