Question

A bag contains 4 black balls and 6 red balls, if one ball is drawn at random, then the probability of getting a red ball is

• A. \(\frac{5}{8}\)
• B. \(\frac{3}{5}\)
• C. \(\frac{1}{2}\)
• D. \(\frac{1}{56}\)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Correct answer: \(\frac{3}{5}\)

Explanation: 
The total number of balls in the bag is: \[ 4 \, \text{(black balls)} + 6 \, \text{(red balls)} = 10 \, \text{balls} \] The number of red balls is 6. Therefore, the probability of drawing a red ball is: \[ P(\text{red ball}) = \frac{\text{number of red balls}}{\text{total number of balls}} = \frac{6}{10} = \frac{3}{5} \]

Hence, the probability of drawing a red ball is \(\frac{3}{5}\).
