Answer #1

Ans:

Urn A: 4 white and 3 red marbles

Urn B: 2 white and 5 red marbles

Probability that a white marble is selected from Urn A=4/(4+3)=4/7

Probability that a white marble is selected from Urn B=2/(2+5)=2/7

As,both events are independent,so

Probability that the two marbles selected are white=(4/7)*(2/7)=8/49
