A bag contains 5 red smileys, 6 yellow smileys and 3 green smileys. If two smileys are picked at random, what is the probability that both are red or both are green in colour?

Correct Answer: 1/7

Explanation:

Given total number of smileys = 5 + 6 + 3 = 14


Now, required probability = 


5 C 2 14 C 2   +   3 C 2 14 C 2   =   10 91   +   3 91   =   13 91   =   1 7
