उत्तर

First Bag contains 5 white and 3 black balls

Total number of balls in the first bag 8 Second Bag contains 4 white and 6 black halls

Total number of balls in the second bag = 10

One ball is drawn from each bag.

P(getting both are white) = P(getting white ball from the first bag) × P(getting the white ball from the second bag)

= `(""^5"C"_1)/(""^5"C"_1) xx (""^4"C"_1)/(""^10"C"_1)`

= `5/8 xx 4/10`

= `1/4`
