Solution

Answer :

We know Probability P ( E ) = $\frac{T o t a l n u m b e r o f d e s i r e d e v e n t s n (E)}{T o t a l n u m b e r o f e v e n t s n (S)}$
There are 6 green socks, 4 blue socks, and 2 red socks in a drawer
So,
Total number of events n ( S ) = 6 + 4 + 2 = 12

Getting blue socks = 4

n ( E ) = 4

So,
Probability of getting blue socks = $\frac{4}{12} = \frac{1}{3} (A n s)$
