    Solution:

    Total number of ways of drawing three balls out of 9 is  9C3=84. 

    n(S)=84

    E= event of drawing 3 balls of different colours

    The number of ways of drawing the balls so that balls are of different colours is    3C1 4C1 2C1=(3)(4)(2)=24

    n(E)=24

      probability of the required event P(E)=2484=27
