A. $$\frac{{1}}{{36}}$$
B. $$\frac{{1}}{{108}}$$
C. $$\frac{{7}}{{36}}$$
D. 1
Answer: Option D
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Since a pair has 2 socks in it and there are just two colors - white and grey, when Suresh chooses 3 socks, he will surely select 2 socks of same color - be it grey or white.So possibility = probability = 1
