A. 1/7
B. 2/7
C. 3/7
D. 4/7
E. None of these

Option “B” is correct.

Required probability=4C2/7C2

= (4 * 3)/(7 * 6)

=2/7
5. What is the probability of selecting 2 blue balls from a bag containing 4 red balls and 5 blue balls?

A. 5/18
B. 7/18
C. 1/3
D. 2/9
E. 3/7

Option “A” is correct.

Required probability=5C2 / 9C2  

= 20/72

= 5/18

A. 720
B. 360
C. 120
D. 650
E. None of These

Option “B” is correct.

Total letters = 6,

but R has come twice.

Number of arrangements = 6!/2! = (6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1)/(2 * 1) = 360
7. In how many ways the letters of the word “COURSE”can be arranged?

A. 360
B. 240

B. 210
C. 240
D. 270
E. 120
