If two marbles are picked at random, what is the probability that either both are green or both are yellow?

Correct Answer: 4/105

Explanation:

Ways of selection of two green marbles = 2C2 = 1
Ways of selection of two yellow marbles = 3C2 = 3
So, probability (both are green) = 1/15C2 ....(I)
Probability (both are yellow) = 3/15C2 ....(Ii)
Then, required probability = 1/15C2 + 3/15C2 = 4/ 15C2
= 4/105
