A box has 6 black, 4 red, 2 white and 3 blue shirts. Find the probability of drawing 2 black shirts if they are picked randomly?

A. $$\frac{{1}}{{8}}$$

B. $$\frac{{2}}{{15}}$$

C. $$\frac{{6}}{{15}}$$

D. $$\frac{{1}}{{7}}$$

Answer: Option D

Solution (By Examveda Team)

We want 2 black shirts
That means choose one and then choose other from remaining shirts
There are 6 black shirts
Total 15 shirts
So probability for 2 black shirts
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{6}{{15}} \times \frac{5}{{14}} \cr & = \frac{1}{7} \cr} $$
