Question
A bag contains six white marbles and five red marbles. Find the number of ways in which four marbles can be drawn from the bag if they can be of any colour
Advertisements
Solution
Total number of marbles = 6 white + 5 red = 11 marbles
Since, we have to draw 4 marbles of any colour from the 11 marbels
∴ Required number of ways = 11C4
Hence the required number of ways are 11C4
