A bag contains 3 red, 5 blue, and 2 green balls. Two balls are drawn one after another without replacement. Find the probability that both balls are blue.

  1. A. \frac{2}{9}
  2. B. \frac{1}{6}
  3. C. \frac{2}{5}
  4. D. \frac{5}{18}

Correct Answer: A. \frac{2}{9}

Explanation

Total balls = 3 + 5 + 2 = 10. Probability of first blue = \frac{5}{10}. Probability of second blue = \frac{4}{9}. Total probability = \frac{5}{10} \times \frac{4}{9} = \frac{20}{90} = \frac{2}{9}.
