Two balls can be drawn from 18 balls in 18C2 Ways, ie 153 ways. One white from 8 white balls can be drawn in 8C1 = 8 ways and one black ball from 10 black can be drawn in 10C1 = 10 ways.∴ n(S) = 153, n(E) = 8 x 10 = 80∴ P(E) = 80/153
Let the price of a pen be 'x' and that of pencil be 'y' Then 87x + 29y = 783Multiplying eqn (i) by 30/29 we get (87x) x 30/29 + (29y) 30/29 = 783 x 30/29∴ 90x + 30y = 810
