Detailed Solution

It is given that a box contains 6 black, 7 red and 2 white balls.
We have to find the probability that the ball drawn is red black or white and no black.
Total number of balls in a bag = 15.
Number of red color balls = 7.
Number of black color balls = 6.
Number of white color balls = 2.
For an event A, P(A)= NumberofPossibleOutcomes TotalNumberofOutcomes  .
The probability of drawing red ball is given by,
7 15  .
The probability of drawing black ball or white ball is given by,
6 15 + 2 15 = 8 15   The probability of drawing no black ball = Probability of drawing a red ball or white ball. = 7 15 + 2 15 = 9 15 = 3 5  
The probability that the ball drawn is red or white and no black is 3 5  . Hence, option 3 is correct.
