Question

In a bag, red, green and blue marbles are there. The probability of getting a red marble is


\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline Color & Red & Green & Blue \\ \hline Number of marbles & 8 & 12 & 15 \\ \hline \end{tabular}

• A. $\frac{12}{35}$
• B. $\frac{15}{35}$
• C. $\frac{8}{35}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{8}{35}$

Probability = $\frac{Favourableoutcomes}{Totaloutcomes}$

Total outcome = 8 + 12 + 15

= 35

Favourable outcome = 8

Hence, probability = $\frac{8}{35}$

Hence, the probability of getting a red marble = $\frac{8}{35}$
