The numbers less than 696 and are squares of certain numbers are 676, 625.The least number that should be subtracted from 696 to make it perfect square = 696 - 676 = 20.
Total balls = 5 + 4 + 4 = 13∴ n(S) = 13C3 = 2862 blue balls can be selected from 4 balls in 4C2 = 6 ways and the remaining one ball is to be selected from 9 balls in 9C1 = 9 ways ∴ n(E) = 6 x 9∴ P(E) = 6 x 9/286 = 27/143
