A bag contains 4 white marbles and 3 red marbles. Another bag contains 5 red and 6 blue marbles. If a marble is picked at random from each bag, find the probability that they are of the same colour.

A.

911

B.

1877

C.

12

D.

1112

Correct answer is B

1st bag → 4 W, 3 B = 7 marbles
2nd bag → 5 R, 6 B = 11 marbles
The only possible way of picking marbles of the same colour is to pick a blue marble from each bag

therefore, Pr( same colour) = 37×611=1877
