Total ways of selecting 2 socks out of 4+3+5 or 12 socks is \(12C2=\frac{12*11}{2}=66\)
Ways to select 2 of same colours = 4C2+3C2+5C2=6+3+10=19.
\(P=\frac{19}{66}\)

Total socks: 4 + 3 + 5 = 12
Two picked: \(^{12}{C_2} = 66\)
Both white: \(^4{C_2} = 6\)
Both blue: \(^3{C_2} = 3\)
Both grey: \(^5{C_2} = 10\)
Possibility of same color: \(\frac{6 + 3 + 10 }{ 66} = \frac{19}{66}\)
Answer D
Two picked: \(^{12}{C_2} = 66\)
Both white: \(^4{C_2} = 6\)
Both blue: \(^3{C_2} = 3\)
Both grey: \(^5{C_2} = 10\)
Possibility of same color: \(\frac{6 + 3 + 10 }{ 66} = \frac{19}{66}\)
Answer D
