Sorry messed up S1, I was going off of memory. Its fixed now.

There are a total of 25 balls and each ball can only be either red, white or blue. Also, each ball is numbered from 1-10. What is the probability of choosing a white ball OR an even ball?

S1) Probability of choosing a white ball that is even is 0.

S2) Probability of choosing a white ball minus the probability of choosing an even ball is 0.2.

St I : is insufficent
St II :
let there be 'x' whte balls
then P(choosing white ball): x/25
further P(even balls)=12/25
so,
x/25 - 12/25 =.2
therefore : x=17
i feel st II i sufficient
Hence B)

please let me know if the logic is incrrect..



You dont know P(even balls) = 12/25 the order in which the balls are numbered is unkown.

okee.. so .. can we say that... there might be a case that .. all the 25 balls get the same number.
