Direction: Study the information carefully to answer the question that follow.
A basket contains 3 blue, 2 green and 5 red balls.

  1. If three balls are picked at random, what is the probability that atleast one is red ?
    1. 1/2
    2. 7/12
    3. 11/12
    4. 1/5
Correct Option: C

Total Number of outcomes = 10C3 = 120
Number of outcomes not containing red balls = 5C3 = 10
∴ Probability that at least one is red = 1 - 10/120 = 11/12
