Solution
Number of green tickets = 3
Number of yellow tickets = 4
Number of blue tickets = 5
Total Number of tickets = 3 + 4 + 5 = 12
(i) P (getting a green tickets) =`3/12=1/4`
(ii) Total Number of green and yellow tickets = 3 + 4 = 7 tickets
P (getting a green or yellow ticket) = `7/12`
(iii) Since, Basket contains green, yellow and blue tickets only.
∴ Number or orange tickets = 0
∴ P (getting an orange ticket) = `0/12=0`
