  1. A box contains 5 black and 5 red balls. Two balls are randomly picked one after another from the box, without replacement. The probability for both balls being red is
    1. 1
      90
    2. 1
      2
    3. 19
      90
    4. 2
      9

Correct Option: D

The probability of drawing a red ball =
5
10

If the ball is not replaced, the box will have a ball, so probability of drawing the red ball in next chance =
4
9

Hence probability of drawing 2 balls
=
5
×
4
=
2
