In a bag there are 15 red balls and 10 green balls. Three balls are selected at random. The probability of selecting 2 red balls and 1 green ball is :
Number of ways of selecting 2 red balls and 1 green ball =ย $$15_{C_2}.\ 10_{C_1}$$
Number of ways of selecting 3 balls =ย $$25_{C_3}$$
Probability of selecting 2 red balls and 1 green ball =ย $$\ \frac{15_{C_2}.10_{C_1}}{25_{C_3}}$$ =ย $$\frac{21}{46}$$
