545. A bag contains 8 balls, identical except in colour, of which 5 are red and 3 are white. A man draws two balls at random. What is the probability that:

(a) one of the balls is red and one is white?

(b) both the balls are of same colour?

Total balls = 5 (Red balls) + 3 (White balls) = 8
Number of balls drawn = 2
$rightwards double arrow$ $straight n left parenthesis straight S right parenthesis space equals space straight C presuperscript 8 subscript 2$ ...(i)
(a) Event A: the balls drawn are 1 red and 1 white.
$rightwards double arrow$ n(A) = $straight C presuperscript 5 subscript 1 cross times straight C presuperscript 3 subscript 1$
Hence, P(one ball is red and one is white)
$equals straight P space left parenthesis straight A right parenthesis space equals space fraction numerator straight n left parenthesis straight A right parenthesis over denominator straight n left parenthesis straight S right parenthesis end fraction equals fraction numerator straight C presuperscript 5 subscript 1 cross times straight C presuperscript 3 subscript 1 over denominator straight C presuperscript 8 subscript 2 end fraction equals fraction numerator 5 cross times 3 cross times 6 factorial cross times 2 factorial over denominator 8 factorial end fraction equals fraction numerator 5 cross times 3 cross times 2 over denominator 8 cross times 7 end fraction equals 15 over 28$
(b) Event A: the two red balls are drawn
$rightwards double arrow$ n(A) = $straight C presuperscript 5 subscript 2$
$rightwards double arrow$ $straight P left parenthesis straight A right parenthesis equals fraction numerator straight n left parenthesis straight A right parenthesis over denominator straight n left parenthesis straight S right parenthesis end fraction equals fraction numerator straight C presuperscript 5 subscript 2 over denominator straight C presuperscript 8 subscript 2 end fraction equals 10 over 28$
Event B: the two white balls are drawn
