\(P(sum = 3) = P(0, 3) + P(1, 2) = 2*\frac{1}{4}*\frac{1}{3} + 2*\frac{1}{4}*\frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{3}\). We multiply by 2 in each case because (0, 3) can occur in two ways first 0, then 3 OR first 3, then 0. The same for (1, 2).
Answer: E.

Probability of an event = (Number of favourable outcomes)/(Total Outcomes)
Here total outcomes = total ways of selecting (or drawing) 2 marbles out of 4
=4C2 = 4!/2!2! = 6.
Favoarble outcomes = total ways where the numbers on two marbles add up to 3
= 2 (either numbers 0 & 3 OR numbers 1 & 2)
So required probability = 2/6 = 1/3
Hence answer is E
