Solution

The correct option is C

May be red or white


The withdrawn ball may be of red colour or white colour. Since white balls are 30 in number, it is more likely that withdrawn ball will be white incolour. Similarly, it is less likely that ball will be red. We can never be sure that withdrawn ball is of red or white unless all the balls are of same colour.
