Answer : 4. "90/91"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Option D Explanation: Let S be the sample space. Then,n(s) = number of ways of drawing 4 pearls out of 14 = C414 ways = 14×13×12×114×3×2×1= 1001 Let E be the event of drawing 4 pearls of the same colour.Then, E = event of drawing (4 pearls out of 5) or (4 pearls out of 4) or (4 pearls out of 5) ⇒C15+ C44+ C15 = 5+1+5 =11 P(E) = n(E)n(S)=111001=191 Required probability = 1-191=9091
