Vedclass · Answer

(B) Total number of balls $= 7 + 5 = 12$.Probability of drawing a white ball in the first draw $P(W_1) = \frac{5}{12}$.Since the ball is replaced,the total number of balls remains $12$ and the number of white balls remains $5$.Probability of drawing a white ball in the second draw $P(W_2) = \frac{5}{12}$.Since the events are independent,the probability that both balls drawn are white is $P(W_1 \cap W_2) = P(W_1) 	imes P(W_2) = \frac{5}{12} 	imes \frac{5}{12} = \frac{25}{144}$.
