Concept:

  • The number of ways for selecting r from a group of n (n > r) = nCr 
  • The probability of any event to occur = 

Calculation:

Total number of balls = 5 + 4 + 6 = 15

Total number of white balls = 5

Selection of 2 balls out of 15 = 15C2

Selection of 2 white balls out of 5 = 5C2

So the required probability (P) = 

P =  =
