Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

The number of balls in bag $ =13+7=20 $

$ \therefore $ $ n,(S)={}^{20}C _2=190 $ For same colour of ball, $ n,(E _1)={}^{13}C _2=78 $ and $ n,(E _2)={}^{7}C _2=21 $ Hence, required probability, $ P(E)=\frac{n,(E _1)}{n,(S)}+\frac{n,(E _2)}{n,(S)}=\frac{78}{190}+\frac{21}{190}=\frac{99}{190} $
