Solution

We have 2 white, 3 black and 4 red balls in a box.

3 balls are to be drawn out of 9 balls atleast one black ball is to be included

So, the possible selection is (1 black and 2 other balls)

or (2 black and 1 other ball)

or (3 black and no other ball)

So, the number of possible selection is

= 3C1 × 6C2 + 3C2 × 6C1 + 3C3 × 6C10

= 3 × 15 + 3 ×6 + 1 × 1

= 45 + 18 + 1

= 64

Hence, the required selection = 64.
